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.

Nice to know stupidity is the international language.

Destroy the silt deposits around New Orleans...destroy the natural barrier that could've help lessen the damage.

Build houses in the flood zone around the Mississippi...watch your house float away.

Build houses on the side of a mountain in California...watch your house turn into a sled when the rare heavy rain comes along.

Where I am, I'm starting to see houses built in flood plains as well. And the past few years in New England have been rainy like you wouldn't believe. I think the only reason why we haven't flood yet is because most of the rivers around here were harnessed for waterpower early on and we're relying on locks to do controlled water releases.
