Apart from re-growing forests all over Cumbria, or extensive landscaping, there's not much that will hold back such an extreme volume of water.

Which is exactly why we need to arm the sheep.

Oh crap.

Parts of the Midlands and West of Ireland have also been hit very hard by flooding. We got a month's rainfall in 36 hours, and that wasn't the end of it. Thankfully, I wasn't affected here in Galway city. They also built some proper coastal walls after the last big storms two years ago, and they did the trick this time, despite everything Storm Desmond threw at us.
