Floods and rain in our village

What a night! After very heavy rain yesterday from around 17.00 to 22.00 the village river and stream system overflowed causing a number of us to be up all night working at trying to control waterways. We have fields flooded, streams completely overflowing, roads washed away and much of our land is under water. Given this problem it started to rain 6 hours ago again and this is forecast to continue for 24 hours more. This could be North Queensland on a tropical cyclone day!!! yet it is central Sweden
