London Under Water

When I saw this I though: WOW! Then I read the story and once again I thought: WOW!

(I copied a picture from this page on NoComment News)

Well, the story is as follows:

Whilst this picture may be from the imagination of Richard Doyle, after the events of previous weeks throughout England it may not be that far from reality. With this year having been the wettest Summer on record more than 387mm (15.2in) of rain fell in England and Wales. This compounds research from Newcastle University last year which suggested that rain intensity has doubled in the UK over the last 40 years due to climate change.The image depicts iconic central London landmarks such as the Houses of Parliment and the London Eye essentially in the Thames. The image is from the aptly named film "Flood" which will be released in August.

(I want to thank How To Save Energy Blog reported to be the source of the story).

Now I'm seriously thinking of the first things to do if there's water in your house. Any ideas, dear readers?
