My city is under a State of Emergency (again) because of constant, heavy rain today. A lot of businesses sent people home at midday-ish so the roads and motorways will be clogged with people and also floodwaters possibly.

Sadly, someone has been lost - a group of school children had gone caving(!) today up north and it sounds like one of them got swept away. But seriously, what teacher thought it was ok to go caving of all things when heavy rain was forecast in advance.

I'm ok where I am at the moment; the rain is steady and I can't see any obvious flooding out in the street.

I hope that you stayed okay. :-)

I saw the news of the lost teen and I was all wtf at the idea of going caving in the midst of a storm warning.

Hopefully the latest areas in the storm front won't have too bad a time.
