Flood warnings after heavy rain hits the UK 

💯

The reporters will be wearing a snorkel next 😩

Don't forget to add in the Black angle to balance standing in water.

for years that's what I have seen reporters do, stand in water for exactly that reason. Stupid or not its effective

Agreed. Im from Florida. That’s a big No No for multiple health and safety reasons

half the drains are collapsed deep underground my good friend is a civil engineer he has told me many times that if the public knew the state of the infrastructure beneath their feet they would demand a refund on their council tax for the last ten years the simple answer is new homes are being build but the inadequate drainage systems are not being improved or maintained to cope with the extra demand, roads and pathways speed up the flooding the street drains are overwhelmed by the sudden surge of water from the run off and the system does not have the capacity to cope so drains back up and overflow and some collapse because the pressure washes them out, not helped at this time of the year by leaves falling from the trees and adding to the clog, local councils allow private developers to build housing estates they only build the drainage systems for the estate out with that zone the developers don't care. I live on an avenue flanked with Oak and Ash trees the leaves cover the street like snow, the council don't bother their backside to clean it up until someone complains or it floods, last winter our residents association grouped together to clean up our own street we swept up the leaves and bagged them at the end of the street we informed the council to uplift it, we have not had any floods this year thankfully, unfortunately we are all on our own because the council say they are cash strapped yet the councillors always manage to pay themselves handsome bonuses..

1 month's of rain in 8 hours, the cleanest drains in the world couldn't handle that!

​@@AzureecosseAlleluia!

The land has been changed to drain quickly. We are often overwhelmed by water now. There is nowhere for it to go.

They're building on flood plains now 😢 no common sense. Rivers need more dredging, and new drainage installed.

Legally expires after only 20 years.

Especially a new build built on a flood plain.

We have a raised flat area that was a WWII aerodrome next to our town, but it is 'green belt', so all of the new building is on the flood plain - it's crazy!

Here we go again....

Shemaan Buzzard?

Bwhahaha 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

What?

EU rules, innit.

Rubbish

😂😂😂

If there are enough 'name-able' storms this time around she might be if the 'M' is Meghan.

We knpw that answer!

It's more than just cleaning a drain

@@hgv1883 Enlighten me.

@@hgv1883. That’s true, it’s dredging canals and waterways that are silted , it’s replacing/ renewing infrastructure that’s crumbling, the skills and technology required simply aren’t there, the victorians faced similar problems back in the day , they managed somehow to work around the problems, but they weren’t trying to push a climate change agenda back then, the people today just accept it , there’s nothing we can do at this point , I suppose it’s devolution in our species 🤷‍♂️🤜🤛 .

Blocked drains are very much a part of the flooding ...where I live the drains haven't been cleaned for months...so the water lays on top and spreads across the roads it's scary I have water inches away from my front door and the rain is bashing down in torrents again 😢

Rain has been known to wash houses downhill.

@@sheilamallett2741 And a lanslde brought me down, oh, mirror in the sky, ..what is love

@@sheilamallett2741 I'd probably do a geology inspection, oh OK, it's not a sand hill, great, I'll build my castle..there

A month's rain in 24 hours.

Well they 'are' used to water!

@@roncatton7101 only in the water 10 mins before the French take them to British waters. Pitty the French can’t take them back to their land for safety. That would be foolish of them

They did the same in Milton Keynes too, built on floodplains.

A month's raining in 24 hours. Extreme weather events are unpredictable and, sadly, will be one more frequent.

Yeah, all those contrails are completely normal.

@MarkyBoy-z5w Splendid tin foil hat.

Me also..🤣🤣

Who's going to buy your house if they can't get flood insurance?

I agree but people are too oblivious or lack the iq to understand. Many don't care because it has no interference with their life, but one day it will. I just hope it's not too late before we realise.

Let’s hope so….

Traditionally it's "nigh" .

What's really sad is 4,500 yes ago a very ancient city had a flood device to divert waters to their crops. 4,500 years ago !!!! Another Indian village had ruts in the town that diverted the water, been like it for centuries. Modern drainage was installed, the town flooded 😅 maintenance and good engineering is key.

even the cows got their feet wet. crazy times!

Same is happening all over the World. Floods in the USA, also in parts of Japan.

I totally agree, but they keep shaving these

Ford monde wanted to be a submarine 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I did.

Please don't. They couldn't think their way out of a sandbag.

😂😂

@@edwarda5584 😂😂😂

Trails are getting worse by the day

Two more splendid tin foil hats.

flooding and droughts are getting much more extreme globally. Can't escape what's happening and it'll soon be much, much worse.

@@SamWilkinsonn Done deliberately.

@@stevendavis2122 lol

Its been many degrees higher in medival times and prehistoric ones before that.

@MarkyBoy-z5w we weren't hear prehistoric times. 🤦. Plus, the medieval period was between 0.0-0.5 Celsius globally.In 2023, it was 1.35C. What's your point?

@@MarkyBoy-z5w last years global temperature was nearly 1c more than medieval period

@@samuelstevens248 Who measured the global temperature in medieval times? To the nearest degree?

@ShimaKiyoshi it's called dendroclimatology, Isotope, stalactite. These are methods to determine climate through the ages. Same methods are used to determine a time period through history through the layering of our earth via soil, rocks, and thousands of years old ice formations
