I feel sorry for the people affected but this really isn't anything out of the ordinary. [/quote] really??? [/quote] Yes really. The flooding is quite widespread this year due to excessive rains but every year we get areas under water - a lot of modern housing estates are built on flood plains [seriously]. This is [b]not[/b] unusual. [/quote] i know every year you have floods in UK, but not like this one, this is a major flood, and there are more rain comming, only yesterday Metoffice made 500 new flood alerts! [/quote]

Description
Ten homes have been evacuated after a large landslide caused by heavy rain in Old Sodbury, near Bristol. Several thousand tonnes of earth moved in the slip, which happened shortly after 08:00 GMT. People living in the houses have been taken to a local pub while engineers check the area. The police and fire service are also on the scene. The affected families included some with young children, according to the owner of the Dog pub. Another landslide on Friday, in Bath, led to the evacuation of several homes and a house lost part of its garden.
