Cant agree the current rain is not worst we ve had. It has absolutely poured down for almost 24 hours non stop. My garage is flooded and I have lived in this house for almost 40yrs and never seen the like. We have had a lot of rain for weeks so the ground was already saturated before the latest downpours. I don't think any amount of flood defences will stop this amount of rain. The elements will always win. It is very sad to see so much misery for local folk. Padiham is under 3 foot of water and I have never known that before.
