The flood is near!

Now is the time for you to wonder whether or not you’d rather be on a tropical island to live, where it’s always 25 degrees and only one time per week one hour of rain for the plants. Since last night we have to deal with a constant stream of rain, which causes enormous nuisance. Not entirely surprising when you consider that there is now in one day the same amount of water comes down where the weather is normal for the entire month of October. In order to give you a sense: that is 80 millimeters is about as much as eight buckets per square meter.

For Utrecht, South-Holland and Zeeland, the KNMI code orange issued. The road and traffic information service (VID) motorists warned of deep lakes. Now it is not financially advisable to water via the air intake to the engine to get, but – especially at high speed – can a deep pool for serious slippartijen sure.

As a precaution, was this morning on the A20 at junction Kethelplein a road is closed, but in other places in the Netherlands, drivers will (probably) be surprised by a large amount of water on the road and helped the powerful winds also. On the A28 from Nijkerk popped up a car, the ditch, and on the A2 near Beesd were two cars on the head.

Fire department and water boards, but to all of the flooded tunnels and cellars pumping out the water. Luckily the night towards the west slowly dry(er) and the wind subsides, but it will still be able to take all the puddles are gone. Tomorrow starts the rain again, or, to a lesser extent.
