Just imagine the flood damage to building foundations and shops etc. Still can't believe there is no decent drainage. :o


Considering that most buildings (High Rise) are Piled down to Rock which is below the existing water table this is not a particular problem.

Anyone who has lived in this part of the world for any reasonable time will be well used to these events. We obviously do not enjoy them, but they actually only last for a couple of days.
