Floods

The land is flooded rain that never stops houses lay abandoned water running through Still the rain comes relentless, incessant roads are impassable villages cut off Army busy building defences that are all too soon swept away and still the rain falls Cattle airlifted to safety their fields under water a state of national emergency declared by government Promises to help local authorities given freedom to spend whatever needed Still the rain falls lives lost far too many homeless people in despair they have lost everything Homes that will take months to dry out and be habitable for now their owners wait staying with friends or in shelters Forecast says more rain and yet still more rain when will it stop? and things return to normal? we are suffering from the worst rainfall in around 10+ years water levels up more than 5-6 feet on the Somerset levels so many people made homeless as their houses are flooded and the loss of life, cars swept away animals airlifted to safety it will take months for things to return to normal. That's when the rain finally stops for now the forecast is rain and yet even more rain. There is another inch forecast for today and gale warning too
