flood #65

so,
i was working right
10 - 6
my usual shift on saturdays
at the pharmacy.

but at around 3pm when the storms hit
the pharmacy was flooded
it all happened so quickly
we were standing there helpless
not knowing what to do
then for the next 2 and half hours
we (and others in the shopping centre) were trying to stop more water coming in/getting the water out
and i think if we just left it
the water would have been around 10 cm high
at some points of the shop
and i did get quite a work out
pushing the water out
and everything.
and i had my feet soaked in water for that amount of time
so disgusting.
i hate soggy feet.

also had another horrible public transport experience
except this time took no where near as long as last time
since after spending 40 mins on st kilda rd
the bus driver decided to drive on tram tracks instead
so it was a bit quicker
i still was home about an hour later than i would normally
but at least it wasn't 2 hours like last time

also pretty much all of the trees
in the city i saw
were stripped of their leaves
and there were leaves
EVERYWHERE.
but then impact in the west was no where near as bad
when i got off the bus
there was hardly any evidence of damage
ie. the trees still had their leaves

but yes
it was a CRAZY day.
