Climate Change anyone - more floods in England
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/7602626.stm
<snip>
Flood fears are easing across England and Wales as showers replace heavy rain and river levels settle.

The clean-up process has begun in some badly affected areas.

BBC Weather said Monday would be calm, but heavy rain is forecast for Tuesday, which the Environment Agency says means "we can expect more floods to hit".

Flash floods have hit Yorkshire, Shropshire, Herefordshire and Worcestershire. There are still about 60 flood warnings in place.

North-east England has been worst affected.

There had been fears that the heavy rain which affected parts of England and Wales would continue to cause flooding and rising river levels for several days.

They'd better prepare for Hanna.
