dazzyboi Posted June 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2007 quite a large area by the looks of it... I feel sorry for the farmers and people who were looking forward to abit of shooting once the cerial crops were harvested in the next few weeks! http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/6249508.stm most of the flooding was near or along the river.

decroyffe Posted June 28, 2007 Report Share Posted June 28, 2007 what areas are affected, and how many homes are floating, looks to be a lower industrial shopping centre, dont hear nothing out here. Martin the pictures of the shop's were parkgate in rotherham i think, sheffields been hit the worse so far, i've covered near 800 mile this week following diversions. the damage is shocking, and i've seen some shocking sights in thw last few days. at the moment were sharing power, this means we have power for three hours on, three hours off. not ideal but it's working. my partner has her own shop which has suffered massive loss's, my daughter has had no school this week, which means me working nights and daddy day care all day. but i guess were lucky because our home wasn't reached by the floods, and we havn't lost anyone. like said above the following days dont look good because it's just started to rain and it's forcast all weekend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fiiish1987 Posted June 29, 2007 Report Share Posted June 29, 2007 Sheffield's been under water for the best part of a week and their's more rain to come. The government estimate that by the end, the flooding will have created over £60,000,000 worth of improvements! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunkield Posted June 29, 2007 Report Share Posted June 29, 2007 and made few rats homeless We were <almost> flooded at the weekend, and the worst after the clear up was all the slugs heading up the walls for safety Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oly Posted June 29, 2007 Report Share Posted June 29, 2007 what areas are affected, and how many homes are floating, looks to be a lower industrial shopping centre, dont hear nothing out here. 4 dead, 1000's evacuated but until anything floods in London the shortsighted politicians won't give me the money I need to do my job properly! Flood defence & climate change is an expensive business, and we do get millions for it but to do the job properly we need another 50% funding - consistently...not just claw money back off us when the Rural Payments Agency mess up the single farm payment - which we are still effected by now!! Where was that climate change thread!... Rant Over Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al4x Posted June 29, 2007 Report Share Posted June 29, 2007 they could of course try and stop building on flood plains. This level of rainfall isn't that unusual its just we've screwed up the natural mechanisms that used to deal with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trakker01 Posted June 29, 2007 Report Share Posted June 29, 2007 they will build on flood planes ...stupid..b**t**ds... here looks still as good, mind if we flood ...you are up poo poo street... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This level of rainfall isn't that unusual its just we've screwed up the natural mechanisms that used to deal with it Here here. You build a house on a site that would regularly flood and turn into a bog for a few weeks in Winter, what do you expect when there is an abnormal amount of rain as sometimes does naturally occur in Summar (prior to our invention of global warming).
