Brilliant footage - pretty professional, actually. Great sequence of events finishing with the sea. Probably one of the best footages of flooding on youtube. Some after shots for comparrison would be interesting.

I think the Environment Agency is slacking, Floods in Britain are not new but rivers have been allowed to silt up. Rivers need to be made deeper and wider (where possible) to speed up drainage.

Visited the UK for a month from the 20th May - 27th June, 2012...in Wales for a week...sunny and exceptionally warm for almost the whole time..less than two weeks later it rained torrentially and flooded...about a month later you had the same devastation. Hope you've recovered now and though it's terribly sad...much of the problem is nature's doing its thing...nature is not static...that's how our world evolved. See "elliptical orbit of earth" online to understand cyclical weather patterns.

I think it's because the ground isn't getting chance to sufficiently dry out before more rain comes. Lack of sun and too much rain over the summer and everywhere is waaay saturated.

Hopefully the homes in Lymebourne escaped to worst of the water. Very scary. I can't remember it as bad as this. Some might recall when during heavy rain a log got caught under the old weir (which was subsequently raised to stop it happening again) in The Byes back in the sixties which flooded Milford Road, Russell Street and the lower part of the town so they had to use boats to get around.

the reason why the UK seems to flood more is because mash lands and the countryside and trees that once was have now been concreted over so theres no where for the water to soakaway and its only direction is down hill

Thats the same direction the properties will go when the water rises lol. When will they realise and start building new housing in potential flood areas up on a 3 or 4 foot plinth to avoid house floods. They won't learn.

And they consistently fail to build flood infrastructure. There is still loads of stuff that was built in the time of Victoria which is literally creaking under the strain. They built things to last but not forever. But that's Modern Britain for you. If it cant make a profit then its not worth having.

Hi The Environment Agency is currently planning a four week social media campaign in November designed to get members of the public more flood aware. Part of the work we want to do is make a video montage of previous flooding events to highlight how devastating they have been. We've just looked at your clips of Sidmouth and wondered if we might be able to use the footage in our film? You can get in touch with us at angliandigital@environment-agency.gov.uk thanks :)

Naha Deem You can kinda blame technology. I love it as much as the next guy. But climate change exacerbates these problems. Then you have the fact that lots of land is tarmac, built on or paved over. Stops infiltration of water into aquifers and the like...UK lacks the vast majority of it's natural forests, which decrease water velocity and allow interception processes to cut groundwater run off....Kinda basic geology... Oh and the idiot farmers who don't understand a thing about natural processes kept screaming for the environment agency to dredge rivers, which also allows a velocity increase due to less surface- water interface. No. I'm not really seeing your point about how this thing shouldn't have happened. It's blood obvious it would.

I think it was just the amount of water that has fallen at times this year, I would be against dredging rivers except in towns in cases where they need to be to avoid flooding, as that would destroy the valuable habitats they provide and scenic beauty too, while probably not helping to prevent flooding too much. The river in this vid is quite a small fast river that doesn't really silt up anyway. I know of one flood in July 1968 that was much bigger than this one even.
