Re: Britain's Great Flood
I remember seeing the flood on cinema news - didn't have a telly in those days. Also felt the Birmingham earthquake while still in bed in Shropshire. Was also in Holland and North Germany when waters started rising up the dyke during a storm surge. Not a good feeling. Let's hope we don't get another flood. It the Thames Flood Barrier not supposed to stop it?Re: Britain's Great Flood
Yes that was the great problem - the Wall of Water - it was a massive surge under a low pressure air system and known to be heading for the SE coast. This was only recognised during a late stage of development and by then there was system of warning the people who lived there. Why didn't they make use of the radio? I believe policemen went around blowing their whistles. It must have been awful.Re: Britain's Great Flood
Here's a spooky prediction I read for 2012 - 2032:Re: Britain's Great Flood
