Media understating the complete devastation?

It is my opinion that the flooding in the north at this time is the biggest ecological disaster in the UK in my lifetime ?

The scale dwarfs the Somerset levels ?

Brighton - even Hove!

I did start a thread on this but with very few posts. I suppose the people affected are not online. This place being the least of their worries.

The Somerset levels a couple of years back was a total red herring. It has more to say about the nature of rolling news than of total no. of people affected (which was about 220 homes in the county).

for the amount of publicity it garnered and public money spent, they should just shut down those small, low-lying villages and build them somewhere more sensible.

The floods in the Thames Valley that followed, on the other hand...

I did hear someone say "water in the lake district, where's the news in that"!

I thought that as well... Until I nearly ended up in one whilst driving in the A592 today!

Somerset flooding of 2012 and 2014

Lake district 05,09 and 15

The cyclonic storms of 2013 which caused the Somerset ones gave unprecedented rain combined with high wind and tides, now we've got unprecedented rain in the lakes that's broke through the very defences that were only built a few years back to guard against.

Heat waves of the scale in Australia, droughts in Russia, unprecedented bush and forest fires, droughts in California, Texas has its driest year on record followed by its wettest year on record, north pole shrunk, summer sea ice gone, pushed past the 1 degree... It really shouldn't come as the surprise it does.

I think it's time to actually start spending massively on perpetration for the inevitable

It has been heavily reported by the media - to me the difference from the Somerset floods seems to be in the lack of visits from politicians in waders demanding that something must be done and calling for the heads of the Environment Agency on a plate.

You only have to look at the south east to see it's south east centric, if it wasn't it wouldn't be like it is!.

Right now it's possible for a 950 depression the same as the Somerset storm but say just off Norfolk combined with say around a February high tide and they really would have something to report
