Waiting for my husband...

It's 11 AM here and I am done with my work at school. It's gloomy and pouring outside. It's been pouring since the last night. My colleague picked me in her car in the morning. I don't like to drive in such rainy weather, as such I don't enjoy driving any more and will avoid it as much as possible. Husband is working from home today. He just called that he is having a haircut in the salon very close to my school. So, I don't need to wait more for my colleague to drop me back when she gets free at 1:30. I will wait for my husband as he should be done in some time. It would be tough to get a cab in such weather. We woke up to this view in the morning as you see in the picture ( I hope that it gets uploaded). All wet and soaked in rain, the garden looked extra green. But the terrace was flooded and some water entered the gazebo and the furnitures were also getting soaked. We saw that the water is not passing well through the drainage as all the dry leaves and twigs collected to block it. Husband wore his raincoat and cleared it. If we didn't notice it in time, the water would have come to our master bedroom in some time. The city is on yellow alert since yesterday. And seeing the situation from last night, it might be on orange and red alert now. I asked my daughter to take a leave today, but she insisted to book a cab and go. Now, the intensity of rain has increased and I would be worried till she comes back in the afternoon. I hope that the roads are not clogged and she can get a cab easily. I am sure that many parts of the city would be flooded by now. I saw a lots of messages in our community apartment group in the morning, warning people to travel to certain parts of the city. Also, many suggested to work from home if possible. That's all the blabbering for now. I can hear the wind gushing and loud thunders again. How is weather at your end? Hope everyone is safe and happy in their myLot corner. Take care

It is bright and sunny today, thank goodness. I live in a city that floods very easily. Almost every time it rains semi heavily we get warnings to stay inside if possible. I hope your daughter arrived home safely.

It's good that you noticed the clogged drain. I hope your daughter is able to get a taxi home easily.

Good you caught the drainage issue before things got worse—always a hassle when water sneaks in like that. Hope your daughter gets home safely with all this rain. Over here, the weather's quite the opposite—sunny.
