Oh, the Danish summer weather - what's not to love about it?

[oneiriad]

Apparently, the cloudburst about an hour or two ago flooded the basement storage units for mine and my neighbours’ apartments a bit.

Yay.

Well, at least the only thing I had on the floor was some chairs - which have now gotten precariously stacked on top of the boxes I have on shelves down there. I'll have to find the time to give them a good scrub and if it doesn't work, they've been standing down there collecting dust for a few years now. And it was just about an inch of water, max.

(Also, my old and technically already thrown away sandals are now resting - very wet from having been cleaned - in the shower, left to dry if I need to back down. Kinda sucks not to own a pair of proper rubber boots in this specific scenario. I know you're not supposed to go barefoot in the water, but it was either the sandals or risking my nice new shoes, and just - nope.)

So - how is everybody else's weekends going?

Glad to hear you haven't had anything of value damaged!

Much pokemon; No Lugia, but a shiny Magikarp!

Thank somebody for small favours.

Shiny!!!

I saw that your city had gotten the brunt of it - glad it wasn't worse. Damn. I hope they can be salvaged.

Those chairs have literally not been used since they got put down there after I inherited them from my grandmother. And they aren't exactly nostalgic heirlooms. I'll find the time to give them a decent scrubbing in nice, soapy water, hope that fixes things, but if not? It could have been a lot worse.

I am a lot more sorry for my neighbours, who actually has loads of stuff in their basements, and for the bank, because apparently the water got into the vault. Also, for the poor man from the emergency service who will apparently be spending the entire night trying to get rid of the water.

[lysanatt]

In the vault? Oh my.

And definitely sorry for your neighbour; that is just the nightmare scenario, getting everything ruined like that.

At least the guy from emergency gets paid.

Glad to hear it didn't turn out worse for you!

[oneiriad]

Thank you. It could definitely have been a lot worse for me, but it still sucks.

[dancing_serpent]

Yeah, flooding and water damage is fucking awful. :(
