Yes I know it has been raining hard!
Is it the effects of Global Warming as the gov. and the greenies and liberals would have us believe or
Is it the amount of building and structural changes to the terrain that have largely caused it.
Forget about the floodplains for now, Look at the amount of Trading Estates, Supermarkets, Housing estates, roads etc that have been built.
All of these cover the land in concrete or tarmac and take away the natural drainage of the land.
They force rainwater into runaways that are not a natural part of the geography.
Look at all of the "Polly tunnels" now covering acres and acres of land.
Look at all of the intensive farming going on where farmers are building fast irrigation into their fields to allow rain water to run off as quickly as possible.
Are these not the real reasons for the cause of such severe floods. The government would have us think "Not" as it suits their tax policies to blame global warming.
What do you think
