Britain is facing its wettest winter since 1766, and more rain than its ever had in decades. The flooding is up to 3 feet in the streets and is overflowing into homes and hotels all around. Some were lucky enough to be prepared when the storms began and loaded sand bags at every entrance, but the flooding still did damage. The government is struggling to come up with the money needed to repair the cities affected.
I think it is very unfortunate that Britain is having to go through this, especially in the holiday season when money is already an issue. It was so unexpected having said this hasn't occurred since the 1700's, and it wasn't even near this disastrous. This will be very hard on their economy. I think as a nation it would be very kind for America to help out the country financially, because there is no way they could've stopped this event from happening. That would also give them a reason to help us in a time of need later in life.
