That dreadful regarding the bridges, cuts off everyone. Here in Australia when there is a flood there is one in many places and in remote areas where people can't get to the Dr. at all, and if the can they have to drive probably 200 miles or more. Helicopters are sometimes used to winch people up inside to take them to a Dr./hospital....we often see that on out TV. <br /><br />Love the verandah myself, many hotels and houses have those verandas around their houses to sit in out of the sun and heat of summer..Margaret Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14074619859060647600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8918426219308228672.post-40940097417653465062016-01-14T23:41:13.936+11:002016-01-14T23:41:13.936+11:00Was a really good supermarket..Was a really good supermarket..Margaret Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14074619859060647600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8918426219308228672.post-40310252373727873112016-01-14T20:22:08.255+11:002016-01-14T20:22:08.255+11:00The same thing has happened here in the north of E...The same thing has happened here in the north of England - communities are cut off from one another because ancient bridges have collapsed into the rivers due to flooding.
