-Last week, Britons in part of Yorkshire and Sheffield woke up to find themselves afloat--after a torrential down-pour-which killed five people including a 68yr old county Judge.
Insurers estimate the cost of this week's flooding to run into hundreds of millions of pounds. But the overall cost to the British economy could eventually reach several billions.
Apart from the damage caused by the rising water to private homes and properties, businesses have suffered huge interruption costs. Tens of thousands of people were displaced and couldn't get to work. The closure of several junctions on the M1 alone would have cost millions. Rail and other transport links were also affected.
Yet,the weather forecasters say the heavy rain and flooding are not done.
People should brace themselves for the worse--this weekend especially.

The floods that have devastated swathes of the country are God's judgment on the immorality and greed of modern society, according to senior Church of England bishops.
The Sunday Telegraph reports that one diocesan bishop has even claimed that laws that have undermined marriage, including the introduction of pro-gay legislation, have provoked God to act by sending the storms that have left thousands of people homeless.
Its pretty grim! The Gods are angry (as the guys in MFM will say)
