Flooding

[Fragony]

Reenk!

I'm safe. Staying with friends but power is out to 115k+ homes including this one. No idea when back.

Have fun! Things like that really bond, out of solidarity we had the province of Limburg flooded http://www.dumpert.nl/mediabase/1298...1_limburg.html

Hey guys, we've managed to move back home, but the ETA on restored power was an hour ago, its now been updated to midnight sunday.

The flood missed our house by about 50 cm. Reached 17m here. Back at friends place, they have power now, on the way here, entire streets went under...its horrible.

Elsewhere in this area, the lake feature where we live missed an entire street of like 40 houses by 5 cm...except one house. Poor guys...

Hahaha awesome. Nature knows its place when it comes to you! Sorry to hear about your neighbors though, hope all is bearable for them.

Its getting better.

Its frustrating seeing the restoration of the power grid go by each day. Its slowly coming along a street, and last night streetlights on the same road as us, but 100m away, had power. We still don't.

The latest update we had said last night, then tonight, then wednesday afternoon (an entire week without power). Now its a blanket 'no ETA for anyone anywhere'.

We've had small surges of low power, enough to dimly power lights, but that ceased. While we were at my brothers last night, our neighbours had full power, but not when we came home 2 hours later.



We're still a lot better off than a lot of other people.

Well, your home is not lost to the waters. That is good to hear.

You will be fine fine. Go loot some stores or something.

And I'm back online.

Will upload videos and such tomorrow.

Looking at the pictures, the water had receeded about a vertical metre in the second photo.
