Pah...Thats nothing, I grew up in Shetland, the most northern island in Britain. It rains for months there...the only time it stops raining is so the snow can start, it's really windy up there too, down on mainland Britain they complain about 90mph gusts and the whole place stops at the first inch of snow. Every year we got snow and I think the deepest snow covering was about 9 ft and the highest drift was about 15 metres...we regularly got 190mph gusts of wind and it never gets reported...oh well supose it is just a small island :P
Oh yeah 2003 we had really bad landslides and flooding, a whole valley was turned into a flood plain and the beach next to my old school was literally washed away along with many houses
(look up shetland and it's changeable weather if u dnt believe me, it's well known for it)
Heres some pics of the landslides and flooding in 2003...my uncle (who still lives in shetland) says it's still not cleared up properly and by what environmentalists are saying the beach will take thousands of years for the beach to come back...I'll try an find a pic.

thats just one of 20 odd landslides up and down the south end of Shetland.
