Hurricane Emma had blown itself out by the time the weather system reached Warsaw; we had winds gusting to 70 kmh overnight, but the rain has slowed. Yesterday while driving I found that ul. Baletowa had flooded completely on the notorious stretch between ul. Sarabandy and ul. Farbiarska. Ever has it been so - I remember getting soaked here in the summer of 1999 while cycling home this way. While most drivers, thinking about the electrics under the bonnet, would drive slowly through the flood, this guy just went for it. Good thing there were no pedestrians or cyclists in the way!

A bigger splash

ReplyDeleteNot that he'd have cared!
Funnily enough, it was an English guy (Graham); used to live in Łady (pron. "Wuddy").

Unfortunately - the puddles are a good example of Polish Road Engineering work. The roads are mere islands of asphalt surrounded by potholes.
