Floods have existed for as long as water has been on Earth. Some of the first humans will have had to deal with floods and this probably took place some 4 million years ago.

Noah's Flood and His Ark

God decided the world had become an unworkable experiment... so he/she/it decided the ONLY option was to "flooded it!" and kill ALL the sinners.

According to the bible; there was only one exception to God's destruction and that was Noah and his family, and two of each type of living creatures - one male and one female. and GOD.

They survived because God had told Noah to build a huge boat in preparation for the flood. The great flood lasted for forty days and forty nights, and Noah and his passengers survived in safety.

I can only assume God paddles in a canoe?

Maybe the new Britain has blessed by the sound of DRAKE'S DRUMS?

Do we NOW have a DICTATOR (probably) that can control the floods and turn back the tides... nope, sadly; Wee Gordie Brown is about as effective as an unfilled sandbag taking a w**k. Blair was bad... Wee Gordie's grab for power is obscene and will ONLY get worse.

Countless flood stories within many other culture's mythologies and religious text. This suggests that a great flood did occur at some point in our world's history.

I've read a book about the virus that ALSO climbed aboard Noah's Ark... strange tale!

Good and Bad Floods

The annual cycle of flood and farming was of great significance to many early farming cultures, most famously to the ancient Egyptians of the Nile river and to the Mesopotamians of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers.

Periodic floods occur naturally on many rivers, forming an area known as the flood plain. These river floods usually result from heavy rain, sometimes combined with melting snow, which causes the rivers to overflow their banks.

Monsoon rainfalls can cause disastrous flooding and landslides in some equatorial countries, such as Bangladesh and Latin America countries located near the equator.

Hurricanes have a number of different features which, together, can cause devastating flooding and often strike the Caribbean and the East Coast of North America.

Humans have redeveloped land below the natural sea level and this can cause a flood event of extreme proportions and devastation. The New Orleans Metropolitan Area, 35% of which sits below sea level, is protected by hundreds of miles of levees and flood gates. This system failed catastrophically in the City Proper and many lives were lost when Hurricane Katrina slammed New Orleans on Aug. 29, 2005.

In their book, Ryan and Pitman survey the history of flood exploration, beginning with the deciphering of cuneiform writing and ending with attempts to link the biblical flood to Woolley's discovery of a clay layer in the city of Ur. The authors then lay out their own theory of a rapid inundation of the Black Sea basin when sea level breached the natural barrier separating the Black Sea basin from the Aegean Sea.

Great Britain was probably cut-off from Europe around 3,500 years ago. An event that clearly changed world events.
