So now we got flooded too... On Monday, we had two months' worth of rain in 1,5 hours. Needless to say that everything was completely submerged. I've never seen so much rain in my life before!

At least only a few got injured, nothing serious to my knowledge. This is quite lucky seen that a bit of a normally busy road collapsed cos it was undermined by water, and a bit of railway was also undermined so that it was suddenly suspended in free air. It was only discovered when a train passed over it! Luckily, the train didn't fall down the hole :oS

Anyhow... Hope that everything's alright in boardie land :o)

Here in Italy is raining too...
*_* Love it! I mean... It's raining soooooooo much, but it's good, 'cause till three or four days ago was soooo hot and now it's all wet and full of water everywhere *_*
No damage, anyway... I think... I hope...

Hey,

yeah I'm still at hotel Mommy and no, they don't have a basement so it can't get flooded :o) A lot of basements were though. It happened to some of my parents' best friends.

I can only say that I've never ever seen so much water pouring out of the skies before! Now I know what it must have been like in England earlier this year...

Can I just add that it's raining buckets again? I just hope that it'll stop soon cos people are still trying to get water out of their houses!

I can't find any pictures to post here but if you wanna see any, go to this page and click "Brugergalleri: Uvejr i Sønderjylland" or "Skybrud i Sønderjylland".

In one of the pictures that I found, someone was actually sailing a rubber boat in a garden! Also saw some swans swimming rounds around some benches almost submerged in water.

Right, gonna leave... Can't hug the computer all night :o)
