Very sad to see the flooding on the news and just glad our village is circa 100m above sea level
Floods and the news

Best of luck to the guy, I dread to think what its cost him in time and money and hope he gets away with it. We've just had a 2' dia. oak tree branch break off, fortunately no consequential damage that I can see (being dark). Scary though but at least we are flood free.
I've just read they had to remove Environment Agency staff from somewhere on the advice of police as the people trying to help the people effect by the floods were being abused and threatened by the people they were trying to help.
Right well in that case keep the staff away and tell them to get on with it themselves. People in this country need to get a grip and realise that everything won't be fixed by a magic wand and of you abide the people trying to help you, you deserve nothing!
It's awful and I feel for these people but at least people still have their health and houses can be mended and some possessions replaced (that's assuming they have insurance). Some people have lost their lives due to this weather and I know it's hard but sometimes you need to be thankful your and your family are safe and still here.

So very sorry to hear about the devastating floods inflicting England.
Appears that this particular calamity is one that most could not have imagined and how can anyone really be prepared for that historic event.
Extreme weather world wide seems to be the new reality.
The real question should be:
My neighbour needs help.
What can "I" do about it ?
A curious sense of community expressed in the Old World.
London- centric and then the ire is redirected at the 1% who can afford to re-develop on picturesque and risky flood plains.
The answer ?
Do what "The Greatest Generation" would have done ..
Roll up your sleeves and get involved.
