Yeah, met my mates for our regular Wednesday cycle. Looked like a heavy shower coming in so went to Boojum until it passed. 90mins later we just braved it in order to get home. Had to avoid the floating man-hole covers in the water at Stranmillis, but otherwise the bike is pretty good in deep puddles  ;D

There's a facebook photo going around of someone kayaking down the street outside Cutter's Wharf.

I'll try and get my hands on it and post it

I told my boss I couldn't make it to work because of the weather today.

"But it's sunny outside," he said.

"Exactly," I replied, cracking open a beer.

Duluth in Minnesota was bad. The St Louis river bursts it's banks an caused havoc in the city. A kid fell into a sink hole and travelled a mile down and was rescued after about 20mins down there. The zoo was flooded and several farm animals were killed. A polar bear and seal swam out and was rescued.. Could you picture coming into paths with a polar bear lol..
