Brittany weather

Once again in morlaix we have suffered with the weather.
Because the authorities here cant get together and
make a decision about what to do with the silt in the river and
the marina the town was flooded again.
We have the marina dredged every year but nothing is done in
the river so the water has to go somewhere and it can only
go into the town. Shops and restaurants were flooded and
alot of stock was lost. I have attached a site so you can see
the damage in Morlaix. Other parts of Brittany such as
La Rochelle had massive damage and lots of boats damaged
and 50 people died. People are saying that it is time
for the government to act on these problems.
