Last week's Britblog Roundup drew attention to the . Anyone out there had similar problems getting help for flood protection? Drop us a note.

A have an unexpected stay in an "evac shelter"

It's been just crazy here. Spending the night in an evac shelter is one of the strangest experiences this trip, as was nine hours on a bus. (15 hours that day, covering roughly 50 miles...).

Another spent 22 hours on what should

On Friday I spent 22 hours returning home from Warwick to Oxford, and in fact I haven't made it home, being now camped at my Parents house. The rain on Friday was the worst I have ever known.

UPDATE: Mike George has just been on Five Live's Weekend News link here I've also removed the YouTube video I linked to earlier - and changed it for the one now visible - I missed the date - it was of earlier floods in Worcester.
