So for the last few days the weather warning in our area has been Amber for Friday until this morning when it changed to Red. My DP works a 45 minute drive away and our car is an old 2004 banger, won’t say what model as it’s outing but think the size of a fiat 500. We’ve already been told by a garage that our car would be worth replacing pretty soon and we are arranging a new one in the next couple of months but here’s my problem;
He seems to think there’s nothing to worry about and that I’m over reacting when I say I don’t want him to drive to work tomorrow. We live in an area that is notorious for flooding (and flooding badly I might add) and I’m 8 months pregnant, I don’t need to be stuck here alone with no power and no DP because he’s sunk the pissing car and ends up stranded or is then stuck at work should he make it there. The last storm that hit a couple years ago had our whole area a good 2ft underwater (we didn’t live here at the time though but I did grow up here and know how bad a bit of rain can be let alone a storm that comes with a Red weather warning). He thinks I’m being silly and has said he has to go in yet he does have a laptop that he can work from home on. Would it not be smart to tell his manager that the likeliness of him being able to get to work tomorrow is slim? At least so they can expect it and not have him calling at stupid o’clock in the morning because our light as a feather little washing machine on wheels is on its side down the street somewhere drowning 
Fully prepared to be told I’m overreacting but I honestly don’t think I am. The roads were starting to flood on Wednesday when the lighter storm hit so I know it’s going to be worse tomorrow.
