Very difficult.
Do you stay and try and protec your property and perhaps put yourself in danger or do you just walk away hoping for the best. ![]() Poor beggars, what an awful time for so many families. |

Are you joking. Unless you have a Fridge & Microwave Upstairs you have to leave , right after you put everything upstairs. I am sick of locals saying this has never been this bad. There is a Army man at your door ready to help and you say "no thanks we are staying." Our PM got our Troops to help before the Police and of course as soon as the River /Floods came the Army help the Police in moving those fools that stayed in there homes Thats what went down in New Orleans, USA when they got flooded. The Electricity/ Gas People have phoned customers On the News there was Fire and Water after a Gas pipe went off Last edited by arista; 26-12-2015 at 06:50 PM. |

I do believe your personal safety is way above having your worldly goods stolen, but we all think differently. Perhaps people dont think that their house will collapse of wash away. |

What Looters using Boats in Front of the Army You are joking If you have a upstairs all that can be moved is good to go up there. If you do not the Flooding a month back has destroyed many already. One Home Blocked the Front and Back Door then it came up through the floor. So take the nice Army Blokes advice Its rare to have Red Alerts Last edited by arista; 26-12-2015 at 07:11 PM. |

Its awful...we escaped it but near my Dads is devastated.....the pub we used to go in when we were at college has collapsed into the river, there's been gas explosions.....so many families have been left without anything.....I'm taking some supplies down shortly for the volunteers who are helping residents. Loads of community spirit though ....goo to see so many people willing to help

Yes I want to Build High Homes on Long Metal with special sealed paint on them well above the water level on there so and floods will not get them. All Gas/ Electric will be on a high sealed Square pipe running through all the lofts. They will have boats built in each loft with a Chain to the let them down no electric used. When the Water goes down a special stairs will go down powered by Solar. Arista Future Safe Homes Last edited by arista; 27-12-2015 at 09:13 AM. |

Ah, thought you were being nice on the other thread, no I'm not one of the 'stupid northerners'.
I think it's horrible to describe frightened displaced people as stupid.

Yup, I agree Kizzy. I've just been to drop off some cleaning supplies that people hAve asked for...they are not stupid people, just people trying to save their homes and possessions. Some people have lost loads and are still under water....it's awful but so many people helping out and offering services and opening their homes to people without. Fantastic spirit but a lot of shocked sad people

There has been one Major Error
in one zone a Barrier was pulled up due to electricity fears? Thats not the PM's Fault One lady lost all her Business papers in her basement she said no warning ,at all ,was given. (ITV1HD News) In that case who ever feared Electric Problems or that the Gate would get stuck or whatever is 100% to blame for her business destruction. And must be held accountable.

This thread was made at the time when locals in the North were Refusing to Leave there homes. The Army Man was there for any help so "for those that think its wise to stay in a flooded home" they are Stupid. Life is more Important |

Not really as the amount of rainfall has been unprecedented and people have been flooded who have lived in these areas for 50 years, so you cant blame new development wholly

Flood plains flood. Once all of this is over, they can fix up the damage, they can try to build better flood defenses but if there's one thing you can 100% guarantee... it's that the same places will flood again one day. Might be next year, might be in 20, might be 200... but it will happen... because of geography, and the physics of liquids. |
