I meant recently built houses, structures or landscaping which have the
these areas to flood. You must locate the root cause and you will find the
source of the problem. Dont blame "global warming" etc because this is
fiddlefaddle

I think you off the plot with this one !

Some of the houses have been there for 200 years and never been flooded
And some people don't have much choice about where they live, i.e. money
!!

sorry I have to disagree with your opening sentence

Why do these idiots continue to live in a known flood zone and expect
others who choose to live in a sensible area to bail them out. As rain
falls to the ground It will continue to be influenced by the force of
gravity i.e. It will tend to keep going down via the path of least
resistance until it reaches the sea or the natural water table. If you
were to use this phenomena when buying a house you will be safe. Now,
this rain will follow newtons first law which in simplicity states that
water will continue to follow the same path for thousands of years unless
a resistance i.e. a house is built in its path, what happens then is that
the water is diverted and will again follow its path of least resistance.
This path you will see many times in England for example Carlisle,
Boscastle, Sri lanka, Indonesa and Bridgnorth.

When will we learn not to tamper with Nature..

Finally back on line after a few days of misery without power, only
limited damage to the house and fortunately no flooding . I had no idea
it was as bad up here until the TV was back on this morning. I have
lived and worked in Carlisle for 20 years and never thought I would see
it like it was - enough said

some of my photos can be found at

Can I thank all those that warned of this weather, especially the Met
Office - spot on.
