Severe Flooding in the UK

Bazza, Hope you're not wet: flood: 洪水 (hóngshuǐ)

(L?)Landudno (where my sister is) is somewhere around manchester but I didn´t find that on the map (that´s somewhere in the grey area with Wales on it right?)

same news about UK floods [洪水 hóngshuǐ] in Chinese

Hey Bazza- Nasty stuff. A real hardship for too many, but I hope injuries are minimal. Amber- Thanks for the translation. I think they really sink in situations like this.

That news story has a lot of good terms in it, here's a few of them, might as well make a bit of a lesson out of it: 英格兰和威尔士 - England and Wales 大雨 - Heavy rain 暴雨 - Torrential rain 三人死亡 - Three people dead 灾 - Disaster 紧急状态 - State of emergency 淹没 - Submerge 水位 - Water level 约克郡 - Yorkshire 洪水严重 - Severely flooded 据报道 - Reports say 尸体 - Body/corpse 皇家空军 - Royal airforce 倒塌 - Collapse 危险 - Dangerous 行人 - Pedestrian 目击者 - Eyewitness 没有食物和电力 - Without food and electricity 记者 - Reporter/journalist 混乱 - Chaos 气象预报 - Weather forecast

Boy I'm glad the town you live in wasn't affected Bazza! Wouldn't it be wonderful if here in California we could get a little of the moisture that England is, yet another sign of 全球气候变暖!

There could be more flooding this weekend, here is a site that has live warnings: http://www.environment-agency.gov.uk/subjects/flood/floodwarning/

Hey hope your ok. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=92q3PoHcdVk let's hope july is better, were on red alert because of car bombs in london also. http://www.terror-alert.co.uk/

Fortunately my town is currently unaffected.

It's been all over the news here; floods in Tewksbury, Oxford, Gloucester etc. It's the worst summer since records began. Luckily where I live hasn't been affected at all.

How is Edinburgh? Will I still have a school to go to in September? :P

Ah, Bazza, you did get all wet!! :-D

Bazza, no matter what happens, keep that photo safe! You are the keeper of the sacred frame! :-) Stay safe, man.

after the rain, sunshine will come (Asterix & Obelix is realy deep sometimes). ;-) Does anybody know if Landudno is safe from this flood? (my sister is there, trying to improve her english)

My area has been unaffected so far, but if it carries on raining a lot more the whole UK might sink.

Here is a flood map: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/in_depth/629/629/6911778.stm

This summer is now officially the wettest in the 240 years since records began.
