what damage have you had with this heavy rain? Most of our new dainty plants have been flattened. 
In spring the blossom on cherry trees had a bad time!

No damage here thank goodness - well none that I've seen anyway. I'm just so glad that we've got some rain - the waterbutts were dry and the lawn was the colour of cardboard!

My peas look like someone has been lying down on them
Nothing too drastic, but my Roses are bowing their blooms a little.
Like Dove I'm actually rather thankful for the rain
Lucky you lot. I'm still waiting for some rain.
And not a drop of rain on Arrakis (aka the Dordogne)...
Wind also seems to be a permanent feature in my garden Pansyface.
Plants here are used to heavy rain so no damage in the garden, but when i went for a walk today I saw a huge Sycamore branch torn off a tree with combination of rain and wind.
The heavy rain and mega storm we had three night ago didn't do any damage and now the plants & weeds
have perked up. We've had odd showers amongst the sunshine for the last couple of days, veg might need watering again tomorrow in S. Yorks.
The weather must have heard me. Its currently pouring
A friend in Cornwall says she was 'struck by lightning' the other day, or as near as dammit, as she touched a bedside lamp at the same time as a lightning bolt made a power surge that earthed through her arm and knocked out their electricity !!!
