Arthur why are you not listening to what other people are saying.

Not EVERYONE was effected by the storms/flooding. Over all it was a small percentage of the UK.

There is NO need for the government or the Army to get involved. In the USA the National Guard don't get called out for every little storm. Just extreme natural disasters like really bad earthquakes or severe hurricanes like Katrina.

There is nothing the councils would really be able to do about the electricity. Only the Electricity companies can fix that, and they ARE working round the clock to get power back. No point trying to get people to help when they wouldn't be able to do anything at all.

Same with the flooding. If it keeps on raining there is nothing anyone can realistically do.

Once the flooding subsides then it will be down to the Insurance companies to help people.

Nothing for the councils really.
