    I have been watching some of it on TV and it is a true tragedy which has gotten a bit lost on US TV because of a different kind of tragedy in Arizona but is now finding it's way back into the headlines.

    We have had a lot of coverage in the UK.
    We had something similar up in our Lake District - but nothing on this scale.
    It puts your own troubles into perspective.

    The Government are making plans to "Map" the flood paths for future floods so they can prepare before hand on designing new ways to help combat them.

    Terrible! Wouldn't that play havoc with your life!

    I guess, given a choice of too much rain or too much snow - snow, on average, is less devastating.

    :(

    It is Terrible. I heard on the News yesterday, a 7yr old Boy slipped and fell into a swollen fast flowing river and vanished.
