[quote]Thousands of homes along the River Thames are threatened with flooding as flood waters continue to rise.
Sixteen severe flood warnings are in place, including 14 in Berkshire and Surrey and two in Somerset.
The Environment Agency is warning of rising water in the Somerset Levels.
Its chairman Lord Smith, has hit back at critics, saying his staff knew "100 times" more about flooding than any politician.

Be sensible. The South of England is weird. One year its hosepipe bans and drought, the next its mega-flooding. The constant light rain "oop norf" wins again.

With all the snow we have on the ground now and now idea of when it will relent and thaw out, we will be potentially experiencing wide spread flooding throughout the midwest-north east US as well. The last time I saw this much snow on the ground, come Spring time we had massive flooding for a couple weeks. That was 1982. We have more snow on the ground now than then.

1 ReplyIt's weird Lonepaul if this had happened in America you'd probably post some horrible comment about American Engineering while taking glee in American suffering. You have that reputation preceding you.
