hi, this photograph was taken near my home in Norfolk ,UK. a very flat land scape. Usual weather is very dry Ideal farming land.
This is one of many storms we have had this year. The wetest on record.. As we are flat and have many rivers and marsh land flooding has been minimal not so in other parts of UK where the hills and mountains have the highest rain fall usually protecting the eastern region. Winter storms are where the flooding occurs in this region and till now man made defences have held well, now with increasing sea levels and fiercer storms our coast (where I live) is in danger of heavy errosion.
It will take only slight increase in sea level to see much of London floded with out the man made flood barrier.Which is now used many more times than expected when first built.
