If there is such thing called the once in a hundred years storm, this is it. I have finally experienced the 'city flood', like so many that I have seen on TV news. The rain caused flooding all around Melbourne, not the least our workplace.
I parked at the same spot for as long as I have been working at our current address, and despite having seen many rain and storms over the years in the area, I have never quite experienced what we had today. The entire road was under water. Worse still, my car was in the middle of the 'lake'. The water reached just one inch below the door. Just wait for another half an hour or so, and my car would have been flooded. Thanks a million to one of my colleague who alerted me. I owed you one, man.
Getting home is not much better, with flash flood at almost every low lying area, it took me close to an hour to travel the 10km or so of road.
