I very much like the way the drains are recessed from the road. It's so easy to see their location, and it also means it's far safer for a person to unblock the drain.

Could that water be put in a pipeline and sent to Texas?

I had to do this a few weeks ago. One side of the road was under a foot of water. Nobody was going to do anything either. It was that way for 3 days and took less than a minute to drain once the leaves were cleared

So satisfying. Thanks

handy how its easy to find the drains because the shape of the curb

"we all float down here georgie" is the first thing that came to my mind when I started this video 🤣🤣

Beautiful music of water first going down the drain.

I'm proud you 2 thought of cleaning those that's what in Australia should do but I haven't Sean them doing it an they are very flooded Queensland Sydney etc so I'm pleased that you done that good thinking 99 proud

It's interesting how the drains are set back from the road.

For those wondering - If the temperature outside is not a problem (and you have no PPE requirement), then shorts, flipflops, and full waterproofs on your upper body is THE best thing to wear during heavy rainfall. Once you get inside, all you have to do is take your waterproofs and flips off, give your legs a quick shake, and you are DRY. Even better, if you need to go out in the wet again, simply chuck the waterproofs and flips back on and you are ready. I learned this during the 'Pokemon Go' craze a few years ago..... while others were going out in jeans, boots, and the like, and having to put all their wet clothing in the drier when they got back meaning they generally stayed in, whenever I saw a pokemon I wanted on the trackers, on went the waterproofs, shorts and flips, popped out a few blocks, hoovered up the pokemon, back home, dry and ready for the next one.

This is oddly satisfying to watch.
