Finding our floods

Pangbourne_flood_3 All around us right now there are huge floods from this torrential rain that's hitting the UK.

Our village is ok, but the next one along, Pangbourne, we can't even drive to as the roads have been closed. When I got home I tried to look up online on the news to see what's going on but there are just too many floods to follow everything i suppose.

So then I checked Flickr, and there's heaps of pics of not just Pangbourne but of my home town Worcester's floods too. This is one of the things I love about user generated media, that it covers the long tail.

Someone somewhere has taken a whole load of pics of the story I'm looking for, and because of Flickr I can see them.
