Torrential downpour seems to have reduced slightly but still around UK and the world people are trying to come to terms with what there lives have been turned upside down to. Flood warnings and alerts have been reduced to 12 and 90 respectively, with 113 no longer in force, which suggests good signs for the people of UK, however the people who have been affected are now facing up to it all...
A young guy in Northumberland has been confirmed dead as his car crashed due to the torrential rain and waterlogged roads. A young man with his life ahead of him dead due to water..
In Russia the death toll has risen to 155. An inquiry put out by the Russian president, is investigating whether enough was done to help and save these people. Stories are increasingly navigating around the internet to which one caught my eye.
As the water levels were rising people where calling around to each other and as a community helping one another, jumping out of windows, gathering families to safety. But for one old lady this was not to be. Living alone, keeping herself to herself, water levels rose, trapped under furniture... But "No-one came calling for her to leave".
Did Russia do enough to warn the people of Krasnodor? Although the floods started at 2am, whilst people were sleeping, were there no predictions and warnings the previous night for these people?
Last but not least... "a dog was swept away, on Saturday night when his owner fell into the water. The man suffered slight shock but there have been no further sightings of the missing dog" :(
