Teh UK Under Water

[Omnisiac]

What are you talking about? I never said we wouldn't be affected HOWEVER the north of England and Scotland will be, in comparison to many areas, relatively unscathed. If you look on a flood map, more of the US will survive, but most major US cities WILL be flooded. If they are all lost, the US is in serious danger economically, industrially and internationally.

I was just stating nowadays a lot of the american discussions on this seem oblivious to the fact UK goes down first. They say "When i notice a difference on my doorstep, i'll do something" By then it'll be too late anyway but UK will be 3/4 underwater by that time. I'm not pointing this to anyone as a person but nowadays a lot of the population dont worry what happens unless it happens to them.
Most people just say, "It's not my business" And i'm sure you all have heard the statistics that if you call out "MUGGER" or "THIEF" No one comes purely because they dont want to risk themselves. As for the statistics shout "FIRE" instead.

I HATE HATE HATE rain!

hey, Wyatt... where did you find that story on the BBC?

It's gonna wipe out the whole of the British Isles and lots of continental Europe as well.

Again. Look at the facts. Coastal areas will be affected, and some low lying areas, but it will not "wipe out" any area of the world.

/\ Well... almost the whole of Bangladesh and the Netherlands will be completely submerged, if that counts.

Wow. I live in the south and I'm fine. At the bottom of a hill and all. And about 3 miles from the sea.

Luckyyyy =D

I think this is a justifiable bump because the UK is once more underwater!
This time its mainly the south affected, with some pretty major flooding in lots of areas.

One of the worst from what i see is Tewskbury (pretty near to where some of my family lives), the water there is up to the top of shop windows! Plus the Thames apparently is close to bursting its banks in some areas.

Had anyone here been affected by the new flooding?

Well if I disappear for a minimum of five days then a certain power station got hit by the floods, in my area most/all trains aren't running.

I was on holiday last week, and came home on Saturday... It was horrible, driving along the M5. Fortunately I was going North not South, as people heaving South had been on the M5 for 21 hours... I got back in 3.

But the M5 cuts through Gloustershire and Evesham, and either side of the motorway was just water. The tops of cars could be seen, and electricity pylons, etc, but that was it, everywhere else just water. We even passed a caravan site that was completely submerged...

It's like a whole different world, makes you feel lucky, but at the same time... like you don't deserve the luck they haven't had...
