The Stupidity of Victims
Jul. 23rd, 2007 10:56 am"Something has got to happen to stop this scale of flooding happening ever again!"
Er, like making it not rain? A huge rainfall happened in major river catchments. The water drained exactly where it should: down into the rivers and where the rivers exceeded capacity, they flooded into low-lying surrounding land called (the clue is in the question) flood plains. The bolus of water is now making its steady way downstream and hydrographic boffins are predicting how it'll behave with fair certainty (bad day for Botley).
What exactly do the whiners want? Maybe they should try prayer.
