Flooding

20080112_soar_valley_flooding_

I've been through the archives today and found this image from January 2008 of flooding near to where I live.  Now this looks really bad until you realise that this is a flood plain and is actually part of the flood defences for Leicester some 5 miles down stream.  The reason why I mention it is that this was the last time we had any meaningful flooding and that the latest flooding has been as serve as this.  Now I don't really know what this means - apart from the fact that it does not disprove in anyway global warming - I just thought it was an interesting observation.
