I was very disappointed by that report on BBC Look East.

I lived the first 22 years of my life in Great Yarmouth, but the only
floods then were a result of North Sea surges. Rainfall induced floods
did not occur. Full stop.

The report should have explained why a moderate - well certainly not
unprecedented - amount of rain causes such chaos today. Might it have
something to do with the ever increasing areas of concrete? (cynical
comment).

The report should have included maps to show the flooded areas of the
town, where the water came from. etc. After all 2 inches of rain
cannot cause two feet of floodwater unless there is some very poor
drainage.
