My Grandparents (The Kimbers) owned Strutts Stores during the flood. I can remember all the stories they told – like the fact that my grandmother had just come out of hospital after one of the first replacement hip operations and they lived in Vaagen Road in a bungalow. She couldn’t get to safety so until they could get her on a boat they pushed her up the attic! – And my father always spoke about how he was nearly killed by an outside toilet that had come away and was hurtling towards him in the flood water.
