Well, I'm bored and I haven't posted a journal in a while, so here's one.
There's very heavy rain here at the moment, and there's some bad flooding. The area where my uncle works is in about eighteen inches of water, flowing pretty rapidly, so that place has been shut down. One of the bridges in town has become unstable, the water is now almost over the bridge, and it's been closed off. If it collapses, it will probably dam the river and cause the water level to rise enough to flood the place where my dad works. A few streets away from where I'm sitting now is a field that now resembles a lake, and all of the schools in town have been shut down bar the one I used to go to, which is odd because it's the only one right next to the river. The military are around helping with rescuing some of the worst affected people. It's odd though, my house is in a valley yet it's affected no worse than any other time that there's rain. I feel I've got off lucky.
Edit: Oh yes, I've been a member of TWHL for 1000 days now. Over a quarter of the time that Half-Life has been out. Sweet.
I remember when I lived in Glastonbury, a town upon some hills surrounded by flood plains. When it rained heavily enough, the river burst its banks and all the fields around Glastonbury became lakes, turning the town into an island. Though none of the settlements were ever affected by this.
Have fun being bombarded by rain
Hope you don't have to swim out of your house.
