      I love all the high and mighty people here with the benefit of hindsight. These people obviously underestimated how deep the water is. I live in the countryside and our lanes often get flooded after heavy rainfall. Sometimes it’s easy to underestimate how deep the water coming off the fields has got. If you’re used to the lanes and fording floods, I can see how easy it would be to not realise the waters gotten deeper than usual.
