Reflecting on the flood of 2006 fortunately does not bring back memories of sadness and remorse like it does for many. I live in the heart of the city of Norwich meaning my family and my home were safe and on dry ground.
Never having experienced an emergency situation like that before I was just curious as to where the damage was, how bad it was and what the flooding could ultimately mean. The only thing I did lose in June flooding was a job which I had been hired for just days prior to the storm.

I was hired in Delhi for a graphic designer position and was scheduled to start the following week. Delhi like many other areas was hit hard in the wake of June flooding and therefore the customer base for the paper I was going to be helping design was no longer serving as many customers and did not need to hire additional staff.
All and all I did not lose anything of utter importance nor did any of my family but in the days that followed the storm the evidence that many people suffered great losses was apparent. I remember looking at pictures and driving though villages and towns and I could not remember a time when I had seen damages like the ones brought on by the water. Recovering from the flood was no easy task for most and some I am sure are still feeling the effects brought on by the raging waters.
