Where were you when?

I was flooded out
My street was completely flooded
I had to wait for the water to subside

It was the only maintenance they ever did on the street
It transformed into/became a river
When I was young, the streets were covered in cobblestones, so the rain would absorb into the ground much easier


Throwing garbage on the streets worsens the problem (NOT increase a problem)

Throw rubbish on the street = litter

The lack of maintenance added to people throwing things on the streets is what caused the disaster last Tuesday.

This sum of factors aggravated the problem like what we saw on Tuesday

As the main roads were flooded, I took an alternative route

I spent an hour and a half in the restaurant waiting for the water to subside

The day after

It’s easier to litter than to put something in a bin

What should be prohibited is people giving out pamphlets or flyers on the streets

It's a big/huge/tremendous/ mistake

The more laws the less developed the society

You can create laws but you need to have someone to enforce them

Buying new technology to take preventive measures against flooding after what happened yesterday is a case of “Lock the stable door after the horse is stolen’

1. Some people managed to get out, others didn’t.

What amazes/upsets/enrages/pisses me off is that the stadium is still at that stage of the renovation

AND YOU

Have you ever had to go though something like this? What happened exactly?
