I don't know whether this link will work on here but I'd like you all to watch and then, if you'd be so kind, sign the online petition. We have no idea when this will be resolved, when these poor families will be able to get back into their homes, when the water will start to recede, but it's devastating for them. Today, a farm, literally a hundred yards from us have had their cows evacuated due to the rising water levels. Thanks for looking
@andrina Thank you. It is horrendous. I don't think people know truly how awful and how extensive the flooding is. I think I may have to put this up again tomorrow as I don't seem to be getting many views right now. I need to make sure as many people as possible are aware but thanks for your support xx
@psychographer Lisa, as a Brit I would love to sign, but could I use your postcode, or is there a general one I could use ? It won't accept my USA one, not surprisingly......
@kwind Yes, you can use my postcode. Thank you. @mzzhope@jaynspain@boxplayer@alisonp Thanks all. Please share with as many people as possible. The situation is so dire xx
Signed. This is so awful Lisa I hope your home stays safe!! I feel that if this was another country we would all be sending help but we don't seem to be doing much to help our own!! Very sad!!
I just shared the video on my facebook page. Has the British Red Cross or other charity got a fund going to help the displaced flood victims, or have they all been left on their own to find a place to stay and food to eat while their homes and belonging are being destroyed?
@psychographer How awefulk. I've seen it several times on the Dutch news. I hope the water doesn't reach your property too...
I've used your postcode to sign!!!
Thanks to all of you for watching the video and signing the petition. I have no idea how much, if any, difference it will make but we can but try. The latest is that Dutch pumping equipment has been sent over. The pipes are enormous, larger than the ones they've been using so far. The idea is to pump the affected areas towards us! It appears that they're not really thinking anything through to its obvious conclusion. I am hoping we'll be unaffected but who knows! There isn't really much one can do to prepare in this sort of situation. If it comes into the house, however deep, it will ruin flooring and furniture as it's impossible to take it upstairs. I'll try and keep you all up to date with what is happening. Thanks again xx
@psychographer i find it appalling that our government are quick enough to send aid for natural disasters elsewhere in the world, yet seem act so slowly when it is its own tax payers facing such conditions! ~ made me sooo mad! [rant over, for now]
@alisonp Alison, I agree with sending aid to those in need but when the need is here they need to rethink. I wonder how much revenue they could accumulate if each MP and banker and company director were to forgo their bonuses. It may go some way towards helping real people in need. Thanks for your kind words xx
