Crazy Weather

Wow what a crazy day we`ve had locally with a months rain falling in one day. Rivers have burst their banks and some of the roads flooded so badly that cars were actually floating down them. Buildings have collapsed and people have had to be evacuated from their homes because there`s a possibility one of the local dams may burst, it has already cracked and they`re looking at possibly releasing the water in a controlled fashion. Helicopters where rescueing stranded people and according to the news the emergency services were receiving calls every thirty seconds. Our local council ran out of Road Closed signs.

Apart from losing power because of a flooded sub-station it hasn`t really affected me but it was literally impossible to get out of my area yesterday unless you had a boat or wanted to swim through the deeper puddles.
