"At least 78 people have been killed after torrential rains leading to
flash floods swept through parts of the south Russian Krasnodar region.

Reports said the floods came at night without warning, catching local
residents by surprise.

Crude oil shipments from the Black Sea port of Novorossiisk have suspended.

Officials say emergency teams have been sent from Moscow by plane and
helicopter.

Television pictures showed people scrambling onto their rooftops to escape.

At least 67 people including a 10-year-old boy died in the town of
Krymsk, at least nine in Gelendzhik and two in Novorossiisk.

Hundreds of properties have been flooded and the Krasnodar-Novorossiisk
road was cut. The transport system in the region is said to have collapsed.

A statement by the Krasnodar regional administration said altogether
13,000 people had been affected by the floods."

You seem to be in the know. Can you tell me which parts of Britain
have been devastated by flooding in the last few day, Now we know the
main stream media exaggerate but if we go to the font of non spun
truth ukmo would have us all building arks. So where are the floods
and how greater an area of the UK has been affected.

As I'v said UKMO had weather warnings for London and the SE

and so far three drops all day-do you really think that warrants a
yellow warning telling people to be aware of raindrops?
