The opening portion involves a firsthand account of the Holmfirth flood, detailing the devastation it caused and the author's exploration of the affected area, as well as illuminating broader themes of neglect and human folly in managing natural resources.

The narrative describes the aftermath of the disaster, pointing out the visible destruction in the village and the emotional toll on the community, including the loss of families and livelihoods.
