ALAN and Janet Musson’s summer house was one of the highlights of their picturesque garden.
So they were horrified to see it floating on top of flood waters brought about by torrential rain.
The force of the water had picked it up and dumped it on the opposite side of the lawn.
“We had a big gas barbecue in there and other things so it shows how much power the water had,” said Mr Musson.
“We looked outside and saw it floating along like a boat. But there was nothing we could do. If we’d have gone out we’d have been knocked over.”
The couple were among many homeowners in Halloughton Road, Southwell, whose property was wrecked by Tuesday night’s deluge.
The expected amount of rainfall in the entire month of July fell in an hour-and-a-half.
