On Tuesday, November 17, a cold front pushing eastward through England produced heavy rain and localized flooding. Rain struck the county of Cornwall, located in southwestern England. Officials issued a warning for the region due to the nearly two inches of rain. Some towns were hit hard by the flood, with parts impassable. Several roads in the county are covered by water. Area schools were closed the following days, while regional train lines have been closed due to flooding and landslides. There hasn't been any reports of injuries or deaths, but officials advised residents stay indoors until the flood water retreat.
I believe that since England is a more developed country, they will not be facing as many issues as that of Pakistan. Their government will probably implement some kind of program to help those who are suffering. This article also mentioned that there is a fear of a bridge collapsing. If this does end up happening, there will be more damage and the government will have to figure something else out.
