Loads
of people in the UK have been hit by flooding on Saturday as high winds and heavy rain
continue to lash the country.
Homes
have been affected in parts of Wales, Scotland and northern England, with some houses
evacuated.
It's
so bad in Carlisle in Cumbria that the city is completely cut off with no safe routes in
or out.
Have
you been affected by the weather this weekend?
Your Comments
It was really quiet during the night but now it's starting to get windy. A ferry has been
blown onto the beach quite near here.
Fi, 14, Kilmarnock
We haven't had floods or anything like that, but the wind here is so strong! It woke me up
last night, and I didn't get back to sleep for another 2 hours coz it was so loud against
my window. And I was kinda worried that the tiles would blow off the roof like they did
last year!

The wind in Wiltshire was really strong! They blew our guinea pig hutch over at 2 O'clock
in the Morning! Which woke up half of Highworth! lol

Our fence blew down, now next doors 2 dogs can get into our garden and chase our 2 cats.

We got off really lightly considering that we live next door to a river, The River Ehen.
Ther river is just over its rim, a tree fell in our garden and the wind blew the glass out
of both our greenhouses!

Our fence has blown down, tiles from our roof have blown off and branches from trees
litter the pavements.

The water level is so high. We can't get out of the city. (well safely anyway) I hope it's
not this bad else like it is here!
Jenny, 12, Carlisle
Today we couldn't get out of our back gate which is the only way out for us. We had to
call our neighbour to unblock it for us!
Eleanor, 11, Wirral
My school was closed yesterday and we have to stay indoors.

I live near Carlisle and my mum could not get to work.

It is cold and windy here. The weather has been very wet for days. Stephanie, 7, Glasgow
The winds have been really bad up here. We've spent all this morning picking up the tiles
that have blown off our roof!
