Finally a flood warning out and it's for my area.

Hardly 'finally'. It was issued at 15:39 yesterday.

First time I'd looked on there Alistair. Even someone with my interest
missed that warning, even though I've looked at the Met Office site

Flood watches/warnings are currently only available on the EA site

The Pitt review addresses most of what has been discussed on here recently
as Martin alluded to. Section 6 may be of interest if you haven't seen it
