Hi You may have had the storms over your side of the pond, we in little old england have enough rain in the last six weeks to last us a year or more. We have no where for it to go now except in to houses as the rivers and streams overflow. some people over here have only just moved back into their homes after last years rain only to be flooded out again. We have had rain fall in one day that woulsd normaly fall in two months
Tropical Storm Gustav flooded the back of my 10 acres, plus knocked out my power for three days, rained nonstop for 5 days, and messed Arkansas and Louisana(U.S. states) really up. Several hundred thousand people were without power.
