Three Day Rain Hits Southeast England and Strains Services
Britain blames meteorologists for failing to warn of a three day downpour that swamped hundreds of square miles in southeast England, caused three deaths and millions in damage. Evacuees sought shelter, rivers neared danger levels, and army amphibious vehicles assisted as roads and railways remained disrupted. Local weather officials defended forecast limits and warned of more rain before drier conditions.
