On Sky News, fire brigade have been called to Kew Records Office. It doesn't say anymore at the moment :-( |

From the picture on the BBC News site it looks like it is somewhere outside. |

Aside from hope that no one has been hurt, lets keep our fingers crossed that none of the documents have been effected. :-( |

If they need to replace the water, we've got plenty here in Somerset ;-) |

Kew, itself, is on the Thames. So sorry Graham, I don't believe they will need to truck in Somerset water. |

Thank goodness it's outside the main building, and Graham we have plenty of water here also, MIL was evacuated from Staines on Tuesday and now living with us. |
