I Have Random Thoughts
The shops near where I live got flooded by waist high water today. A stream burst its banks because of torrential rain and even managed to rip part of the footpath away. A section of the main road was just outright blocked off, and the intersection at the bus station had to be directed by cops because that had flooded badly too and the lights got shorted out.
