Many have drowned. In the last "flood of the century" (2002) it was officially 80% hereabouts. The affected are mainly young. This year's crop. It was proposed to close the motorway for a day and let all cross to safety. This was rejected in the interests of the priority of the safety of humans.

That is really awful Gwilym. Are you alright where you live?
