Flooding

It has been a night of very heavy rain. The town's road drainage systems were overwhelmed and this morning we woke to find a lot of the roads were flooded. I guess the drains get blocked with leaves etc. and can't cope when there is a downpour. Good trade for the drain-unblocking business though.

Some roads were impassable. There were traffic jams everywhere as people did their best to negotiate the flooded roads. It was quite a considerable task for the police to supervise and monitor the situation.

More rain is predicted for tonight...
