Christopher Brunsdon Posted July 13, 2009 Share Oh come on, we have seen worse I only live 5 blocks from where these photos where taken and we just had normal rain, did not see too many people in row boats yesterday!!! Was disappointed this morning on my commute to work as there was no rain ... was looking forward to it. Could not cycle this weekend as I'm on 24hr standby and need to be no more 5 minutes away from the internet (except on my commute to work).

NC_lurker Posted July 13, 2009 Share The word you're looking for is "cloudburst"..Spoke to a friend in SW yesterday evening & he was complaining about having to dig a trench in front of his garage to stop the water flooding into it. Now I see what he was talking about! Where's the 3rd picture taken? (the one inbetween the Fiat's..) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhilipV Posted July 13, 2009 Share The word you're looking for is "cloudburst"..Where's the 3rd picture taken? (the one inbetween the Fiat's..)Thanks, will edit first post.The pic was taken in Jacaranda street, near Parel Valley high school. Last years flooding was worse, and I think we will get more of this again this year as well. There was a photo in the local mail a while ago of one the boat shop's staff cruising in a rubberduck in front of the shop next to the N2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mountain_lion Posted July 13, 2009 Share I grew up in Somerset-West. "Cloud bursts" like this often occurred, but flooding as shown in the pics seldom happened. Bad maintenance of the storm water system if you ask me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christopher Brunsdon Posted July 13, 2009 Share Drowned taxi My wife is going to have a sleepless night tonight after I showed her these pics - her business is in the same center, at the back. She does not work Mondays so tomorrow is going to be a lovely surprise To think we live 800m up the road and did not see much water in our streets!!!
