Rain And Floods

Rain rain rain Is its the time of global warming or is it  just the cycle of the Earth. As the old saying goes what goes round comes around.  Years ago we had very bad winters the snow was 6 or  7 feet high in the UK, I remember not being able to get out of the door. Now we have rain, houses are flooded why? Because we built them on low lying land and flood plains. DOH!
       Years ago rivers and lakes shrunk now they are on the way back flash foods happen because we have coved the run off's in tarmac and concrete so now we get Flood warning websites  from the government a sign that they do not think it is going away http://www.shoothill.com/flood/
