If you hadn’t seen the news, we’ve had some very serious flooding here in the UK. It’s affected a nuber of different areas, from Tewkesbury and Gloucester in the west right through to Nottingham, Lincolnshire, Yorkshire and Hull, which bore the brunt of the first round of floods. <\/p>\n
When flying back from holiday you could see the flooding near the airport – nothing like they have experienced in Hull and elsewhere, but it gave you a better idea of the effects of the flood waters. Without such a visual queue it is difficult to comprehend the effects.<\/p>\n
The cause, unsurprisingly, was the heavy quantity of rain, but it can be difficult to get a really good idea of how much and where the rain fell so that you can understand and comprehend how it all happened.<\/p>\n
