Flooding in England Killed 1
Post by: Addison

In
southwestern England there has been four days of constant rain. This rain has
followed months and months of rain making flooding conditions worse. Flood
alerts were sent out by The UK Environment Agency to around 225 areas Sunday
afternoon. The areas of the alerts stretched throughout southwestern England,
up into some parts of Wales, and to Midlands region. In Cornwall, the Cober
River’s water levels have gotten extremely high. Then in Exeter, a woman was
hit when a tree got knocked down; the tree ended up killing her. The Prime
Minister David Cameron made a post on twitter stating that his government would
ensure help to the region hit by the flood. More rain is expected in the area
and to northeastern parts of England.
It
is crazy to see the great impact nature has on our world. With the U.S. just
experiencing Hurricane Sandy and the flooding occurring in England we are able to see how
destructive nature can be. It is awful that the flooding has taken a life, but
I do find interesting how Prime Minister David Cameron used social media to
make a statement about the flooding. I hope that everyone stays safe;
especially, with more rain that is expected to come in the area.
