Earlier this week the council made false claims about the amount of rain that fell to cover their asses over the flooding.
The claims were that 34mm of rain fell in an hour. Hence the drains couldn't cope. Rubbish although it was wet it easn't that wet.
Rain in the first hour
3.6mm Shouldn't have been a problem
Rain in the 2nd hour
16.0mm Perhaps slight flooding where drains were blocked
Rain the 3rd hour
4.6mm shouldn't have been a problem.
Heres the breakdown in mm
