Flooding

I am amazed by the extent of the flooding in the UK, we had like 2-3 months worth of rain in 24 hours. The country just cant cope, how did we not see this coming, im just amazed that after the disaster a few weeks ago in the north supplies were not stockpiled just in case, then they could have been distributed when the early weather warnings were announced.
The government has been blamed for not acting, it should have after the pathetic "too little, too late" effort up north. Well hopefully in future Britian will be prepared for rain and flooding, in future the devastation could be worse.
