Well today was an enteresting work day.
Left home to catch the bus 5 blocks away & got soaked & I was wearing a plastic rain coat.
It was soo bad here in Ottawa, that the parking lot had flooded to over 2 feet deep (so I was told by staff, I refussed to go outside to find out).
I server so many drowned rats (as in only 50 people, super slow day).
& to the good part.
It was raining so hard & the wind was so strong that our NEW store was flooding :(
The poor guys had to stand at the loading doors to vacuum up the water that kept blowing in ALL day long. Then at lunch time RX's waiting section was flooding. it was coming through the walls!!!
The stock room smelled sooo bad, the guys were trying to block the water with cardboard boxes, but it didn't help & they were falling apart & smelling up the place.
In the south end several streets were closed due to flooding & sewage backup.
One of the RX ladys had to go home early because during rain stormes like this her street floods (Kanata was too darn cheap to put in proper sewer pipes, so those poor people r stuck with extra small pipes that backup quickely) & all the houses on her street flood really bad. She said thay all get 3-4 feet of water in ther FINISHED bassements.
The insurance companies will pay for the first flood & will cancle ur flood insurance for the next flood!!!!! I was shocked, I live only a few blocks away then her (ok more like 10 blocks), but were still in the same part of the city & we don't live anywhere near water at all & her STREET is now called a flood zone!! Stupid city, she said several of her neighbours r sueing the city for improper sewage pipes. She said if her home floods again, she joining her neighbours in sueing the city.. I hope they ALL win. This is BS treatment!!
