To all my peeps in central and western England...

The Boston Globe reports that you guys are not just getting slammed rain-wise, but are also flooding out.

Yikes! The Globe even has pictures.

Yes, apparently your horrible weather and flooding situation is making front-page news in Boston.

Take care of yourselves and stay safe.

It might be a crisis, but as yet precious little of a calamity - few people have lost their lives (BBC news reports have mentioned only one death), and aside from the dreadful damage to property, it seems like it will pass.

It is interesting that when there are similar catastrophes around the world, Britons strive to send aid. When it happens in our own country, most relief seems to come from the supermarkets - who have been making sure their stocks get through! Well, they have the logistics infrastructure, I guess.

Heee! And because you all need tea, damnit!

Still, I'm glad that (so far) the casualties have been low. *fingers crossed* that it stays that way.
