To much water.... it is flooded here!

Wow, it rained so hard last night! The sewers in the streets canoot take all the water anymore, so this is the result:

Another even worse problem is that our toilets don't flush away the "water"! This morning I REALLY had to go :D , so I drove to a shop nearby, using the toilet on my way out ;) . I hope it stops raining, this is to much!!!

:eek: OMG that's awful! hope the kitties are warm and dry

Silly pusscat

Oh good grief! That was a lot of rain you had. Hope it drains away quickly!

Good grief, what a puddle!! It looks like your house is safe though. :)

I'll post a picture of a map John has drawn (if I can find it), where the water was 10 meters above normal. Half of Denmark had disappeared and also a lot of the Netherlands. It looks really strange!!

Was that perhaps in 1953, Randi?? My parents were in the middle of it! They lived in Ostend then at the Belgian coast. Their house had 1m45 of water!! My brother was a tiny 9 months baby then, so the police brought them milk with a boat, which went straight into the house, up to the staircase :eek:

Send some this way, we are in a drout (sp)

Oh my gosh :eek: That's a lot of water! Hope that gets cleaned up soon!

Well, it is 5 hours later now, the sun has been shining all afternoon, and.....

ALL the water is gone!! Yippie, my car didn't like the swimming anyway ;)

Yay!!!!

Just saw it on the evening news: it was really havy! Twice more rain in 6 hours, than usually in 1 month :eek: ! It will be accepted by our government as a "Nature-disaster"; which implies that the damage will payed back !
These are two pics I found on the website of our daily paper, De Standaard.

It looks ridiculous to see those people standing knee-deep in water when there is a blue sky above them!

Here in the SE USA, we had 6 inches in 1 1/2 hours yesterday. THAT was some RAIN!! Looks like you all had about the same...... :rolleyes:

Wow, that is quite a bit of water to get in just a few hours. :eek:

I'm glad to hear it's cleared up now. Tell Inka she would have needed to
paddle a boat in that weather. :D
