The Flood Pictures:

Photos taken one week apart during October 2001 in Worcester UK. This is Hylton Road, going South towards the cricket ground, the River Severn was about 20 feet above normal level, not a record but a once-every-few-years event. In the photo on the left you can see Amphicar has the road and the river to itself, I am on propeller power when the picture was taken. In the picture on the right everything is back to normal and Amphicar is just another car !

More Flood Pictures. 

About 10 miles south of here in the town of Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire, two major rivers meet, the Avon and the Severn. The area is prone to flooding with the rivers levels typically increasing by 10 feet every year but as much as 20 feet once every decade. January 1998 has seen the worst floods since 1990 and a whole bunch of new photos will soon be here. The flood plane is up to 2 miles wide so some roads can be deeply flooded yet over a mile from the river. It's great fun navigating Amphicar through these new waterways where the tops of the hedges act as banks but there can be lots of hazards just below the waterline.

These two pictures show the same stretch of road and were taken just a few days apart. The first when the road was a road, the second was taken from an afloat Amphicar once it had become a river.
