Yep, where I Live, I'm surrounded by low lying villages, all of which are flooded, and worse is expected. We can't get out to our usual places, without massive detours. This happens around here every 10 years or so, this year is particularly bad.
It's our unpredictable weather; how can the councils expect to cope, after all it's never rained in June before.
To be fair, the rainfall has been extremely severe and continuous. Any system will struggle to cope with the volume that has fallen here recently. Apparently we've just had the worse days rainfall in 50 years, with plenty more to come.
