I need to be clear here – the map shows the geographical extent of the low-lying land known as the Somerset Levels and Moors and is related to proposals from various agencies for future management of the area, including the potential for flooding. It is not – and I apologise to anyone who thought it was – a map of the current extent of flooding.
Looks like Mark, Blackford and much of the Brue catchment area must be submerged. Worse than I thought in fact.

The map shows the extent of the Levels and Moors as a geographical feature, not the current flooding. Somerset County Council have a map at http://somersetnewsroom.files.wordpress.com/2014/02/flooding-roads-affected-web-16feb14.pdf which shows the extent of the flooding about a week ago and the roads which are closed or passable with care. The problems are primarily south of the Polden Hills and the Brue catchment is not badly affected, as far as I can see.
