Damn...

We're getting some serious rain today. I mean it has been a none stop down poor all day. I haven't seen it rain like this since the flood in 2007.

(This is my home town of Spaniard's Bay (well, a small part of it) This was AFTER the rain stopped and the water started subsiding.) (No, video was not taken by me.)


That empty parking lot, that was a car sales lot for the Dodge dealership. That building took heavy water damage, as well as a lot of new cars. The company moved, and that spot is still closed down today.

That was only a small bit of the trouble. The connecting bridge from Spaniard's Bay to our neighboring town Bay Robert's was heavily damaged, the local bike trails (What used to be a old train track years ago) was completely underwater in some parts, even washed out in places. Many houses had flooded basements (including mine) and many roads was non passable.

I doubt that's gonna happen again though, I think the rains are starting to ease up a little.

Damn, that sucks. My country has big problems with floods almost every year...It seems that the situation is going to ease up soon here too. I'm happy that I live in an apartment.

In the flood of 07, you could actually swim in my basement, that's how much water there was. They had the fire department going around to peoples houses with the high powered pumps to pump out the water.

And um... forget what I said about the rain easing up...

Still heavily raining...

I just played through the video game Heavy Rain...while it was raining where I'm at as well (the button queues in that game are freaking terrible, which is pretty bad because that's what the gameplay is based entirely on).

Well the rains has stopped at last.

Its rain in your city, and soon the fire season, here, in Portugal... the summer is coming :S

We don't have much in the way of fire here.

Well, no flooding this year. Maybe in another 4 or 5 years when we have another big rain storm.

Global Warming may mess with you though, I remember how wet the summer last year in Massachusetts was, and this year it's fairly calm, the globes climate is out of whack.

HAS THE RAIN EASED UP!?

I can clean it up, with my powers.
