Flood

We had some epic rain this weekend. There was no warm spell to introduce it, it just rained like crazy for 3 days.

Everything facing upright which resembled a bowl flooded. Including my car's foot well.  Emphasis on well. Turns out the drainage system has a crucial design flaw, but nothing that couple of hundred bucks and a big heater can't fix. And possibly some newspaper.

In chaotic times, news travels faster than it should. I received reports that the sluice gates at Nahoon dam had been opened, only to be told that the dam has no sluice gates. That particular question remains unanswered.

On a positive note, the flood did provide alternative entertainment for the weekend, and had it not availed itself Im not sure what we would have done to entertain friends visiting form the Cape. Flood-damage sight seeing has something going for it.
