Torrential Rain that Tore
ok..frankly speaking, i think today was the worst day on the roads...no thanks to the heavy thunderstorm that wrecked havoc throughout Melb.
After sending my parents off today, i went back home and decided to go to Burwood to visit a bookshop. While in the bookshop, a thunderstorm began and the bookshop actually blacked out twice! I waited for the rain to stop before i left.
I left the bookshop at 5pm. I traveled down blackburn road...and boy..the traffic lights were all out! I took 1 hour to reach an intersection whereby i had to divert my car cause there was no thru road on blackburn road....there was a huge deep pool of water right in the middle and police sealed off the road..no cars could make it past the pool unless the driver wanted to sink the car...
Turned onto high street road from blackburn road and was stuck in traffic. I decided to take the small roads....then went onto springvale road....and dun wanna talk abt traffic..it;s just bad....
sirens from firetrucks and ambulances were so frequent!
reached home after 2 hours...guess the mileage i clicked...only 25km!!!!!!
bad day on the road...but m glad tt i made it back safe. some didnt...
