Flooding in England

This winter, England has seen the wettest times since 1760.  The River Thames has flooded it's banks, and thousands of homes, businesses and buildings are under the rising threat of flood waters.  Somerset Levels has been under water for a week, and two more severe flood warnings were just issued for them.  A severe flood warning in England means one can expect human deaths due to the flooding.  Fourteen other severe flood warnings have been issued to the west of London, along the Thames.  - And, in the east and north, ice and snow warnings have been issued.  It sounds as if the awful winter storms the US has been having decided to head "across the pond."  I deplore the costs of flooding, and the losses - of personal belongings, structures, and history (in England's case) - that go along with it.  Here are a few photos from the past few days:
