Robin, thans for posting that. It's very informative and I've passed the link to friends. It's shocking to see street after street under water. What strikes me though about the flooding is how much of the over-bank flow is inundating parks, sports fields and golf-courses rather than homes (though there is plenty of that too). This suggests to me that flood mitigation has been included in the town planning decisions, even if they somewhat underestimated the possible extent of flooding. I wonder what measures they'll take in the wake of this?
Cheers,
David
