I’m not really sure what to say about this. There are some scarily impressive numbers here. But it’s like someone showing you evidence the nightmare is real. Thinking of all those on the receiving end of this rain, and all those doing their utmost to help them.

According to the Climate Coalition 1.8m people live in high flood risk areas in the UK, yet a recent survey commissioned by Landmark found that 6 out of 10 people have never checked their home's flood risk dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/… #flooding #floodaware

Around 1.8MILLION Britons live in high-risk flood areas

Torrential rain saw vast swathes of the Midlands and Yorkshire devastated by flooding at the end of 2019. It took the total amount of properties hit by flooding in the last 12 years to almost 100,000.
