Sometimes, flooding has some unexpected, even positive benefits. Rising waters struck a blow for human freedom in the UK recently, when the floods disrupted the work of the Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ) in Cheltenham. Let this be a lesson to governments everywhere -- spend more time monitoring the weather, and let the humans take care of themselves. As the story from Terra Daily (via Agence France-Presse) makes clear, the severe weather did more damage to England's "counterterrorist" effort than any terrorist attack.Photo of surveillance cameras perched high on a post, keeping their ankles dry, by Quevaal.
