Historic cottages in Tewkesbury under feet of water

The UK is flooded after several days of torrential downpours. This photo is just north of Gloucester where 150,000 homes are without drinking water, and 50,000 homes are without power. Last Friday evening, over 10,000 cars were stranded on motorways. Here in London, it really rained hard on Friday before noon and again on Saturday but Sunday was clear.

Our friends, Kelly and Mark, send us an email Saturday, that Mark's grandmother's farm near Oxford was flooded one day before closure of the sale of the farm.

I noticed on the news today that China is also having major floods as well as Texas and mud-slides in Colorado. Global warming is at work....

In the UK, the Brown Government has just proposed to built an additional 250,000 affordable homes over the next 10 years. Today they are releasing a report that states they will build in the flood plain zones.
