813592 2009-09-25 00:51:00 We are warned to beware of "surface flooding".

My word, underground flooding would be hard to bare, and underwater flooding could saturate our harbours rendering them unsuitable for cycling.

Atmospheric flooding could be hard to support.

Taken all round, surface flooding might be the benign alternative?

813594 2009-09-25 02:11:00 Well as long as it doesn't rain before Tuesday (YEAH RIGHT :D) I'll be fine.

(I'm off for a 3 day hike, leaving today and back on Tuesday.)

813595 2009-09-25 02:51:00 Good luck with the hike, but Metvuw (metvuw.com) seems to indicate that forest fire is not likely to be a hazard most of that time.
Saturday offers a minor drought hazard, but the rest of the time should be safe.
Ah to be young, - Have fun.

You are quite right surface flooding is an oxymoron term.
Stupid latin sub means below sur means on and super means above.
Sub flooding is a just a result of sur flooding coming from super flooding
You dont get sub surface flood warnings do you unless you are a nutter caver.
