morning
Don't know what all these people with flooded houses are complaining about, I just got caught in a brief downpour, without an umbrella, and am now a bit wet - you don't hear me demanding assistance from the Environment Agency or the military.

Unless they only have futons, their furniture should keep them clear of the water.
Anyone with a bait & tackle shop should be making a killing, right now.

surely someone should open up a shop
that deals solely in polystyrene and plastic furniture that floats and can be rinsed off.

Floating domiciles are probably the answer.
Put down decent anchors, have stretchy pipework for water, gas and so on, we'd all be fine.
