I have been visiting the site (honest!) but life has been hectic. I am in charge of support for a couple of flood warning systems for the Environment Agency, one in the Midlands (Severn & Trent), one in the North-East (Yorkshire and so on). Which regions got flooded? South, NE and Midlands.
2 out of 3 ain't bad!
So I have been dealing with the problems that these two regions have had - they've been working round the clock, I haven't, so a big hurrah please for the folk at the EA. A data restore at 3am comes to mind - we did it and were able to tell Yorkshire to evacuate in time.
At the same time the Severn was flooding, Gloucester underwater, but the Flood Defence Team at Sapphire (Dickie, John(I've been on the 10 O'Clock News)C, Katharine, Claire, Tim and everyone else) deserve a huge thank you for their work in predicting what was likely to flood and warning people. Being flooded out is never pleasant, but if you are warned in time, it is more bearable. That is what the EA Flood Defence Teams try to do.
From your correspondent in water, now back to the studio............
