Waters have risen quite a lot, I had a little walk around the street at around six thirty, and did not dare to venture in waters deeper than chest level. At places it was eight to ten feet deep.

The transformer that supplied power to here had exploded, and I've got no power (The idiots did not have the foresight to shut the power) and that's the bad part, because it threatens the drinking water supply.

It's getting dark now, hopefully the waters will reduce by the morning... or atleast not rise further in the dark.

I've taken some pictures of my wading session... I mean which idiot would go in deep flood water without a camera?
