      For my Imperially challenged peers in the US, that’s about a fucking YARD of water. Enough to seiously flood most places you might think are safe from flooding in the US to deadly effect.

    We got flooded roads when it rained 25mm in one hour

    900mm is insane, I hope the government planned for something like this with huge storm drains…
