As we heat up the planet there's more moisture and more energy in the air. As we heat up the planet we change weather patterns. The wise virgin doesn't live next to a river which could flood.

That's true, but this particular flood is entirely within the parameters of expected and normative weather patterns. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you trying to tell me those people nearly rescued from rooftops in laxey brought it upon themselves due in no small part to their own promiscuity? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rushen Spy Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 What I'd like to know is who was Perkins referring to when he suggested his reference to flash floods were not taken seriously when he spoke on the Eastern Area Plan? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wrighty Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 20 minutes ago, WTF said: tangent, as government/corpy provided the parking on douglas seafront and there are a lot of wrecked cars there do they have any liability in the matter? All parked illegally? The seafront is a 2 hour disc zone 24/7. I suspect that could be a get out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CharlieBrown Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 FFS what is the point of a natural disaster if the Government can't get some nice drone shots in the coverage, someone in the locate.im team needs a kick up the arse. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Non-Believer Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 The last flood anything like this was 4 years ago in 2015 when the bridge got washed out, when was the last significant one before that? Are they increasing in frequency? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheTeapot Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 Gonna go check out how the Great Wall of Castletown is holding up, high tide pretty soon, although I think the wind is in the wrong direction for proper flooding down here.

Why would they? You park on the promenade etc at your own risk. It would simply be up to the owner to claim on their insurance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
