I was watching a movie with when suddenly my sister burst in and told me to look outside. Tons of water was flowing from the streets down the driveway. As our house is lowered from the street it was starting to flood the garden, and when I say flood I mean FLOOD. You literally could not see the grass and the backyard - it was all just one massive pond. If it kept going like this for another 5 minutes it would have reached the house.

Anyway I got Jammy-Say to help me get out some wood from the garage and make a blockade at the front gate to slow down the water rushing in from the streets. After about 10 minutes we got a pretty good blockade going, although water was still flowing through there was not enough to reach the house. There were some fuckers speeding down the street and creating huge wake which toppled over the blockade and almost pushed it over, so I had to go out on the street and tell them to slow the fuck down for about half an hour until the authorities finally came and blocked off the whole fucking place.

It was a sight to see. Imagine your whole street, the one you live in, completely submersed in water. This photo was taken after the water subsided a bit, but it was much higher than this. That's the house opposite mine. On the upside it was a great photo opportunity.
