        @BBCBreaking Why hasn't anybody launched an appeal to help the flood victims to which we can donate? It's appalling.

        @BBCBreaking you live in a flood plain. We've had lots of rain, that's nature. Blaming one man for this when the issue started in 1993....

        @BBCBreaking He has already failed miserably at his job which is why the situation is much worse than it should have been.
