CavySlaveJambo Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 these are all either holding or diverting from Edinburgh. I think they’ll be diverting.

been here before Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 (edited) Juat got bavk from going out for a drive. Theres a few roads wont see the morning. Big cracks with water pishing through them under the bridge on the corner of Robertson Av and Gorgie Road. The corner at the bottom of Craiglockhart Road where the Prince Charlie Bridge is has lumps missing out it and water pishing through it like those yank fire hydrant. Theres a big chunk as wide as the road ready to go. Theres a few manhole covers for BT/CATV with water flowing out them. Big flood on Colinton Road on the corner at the railway bridge by the carpet shop. Its all fun.

I've never seen anything like this in all my days. I grew up there and it’s always been the case there. Knew a lad who stayed just before the bend who I had to help stack sandbags at his front door trying to stop it. They’ve done fek all over the years to prevent this and they’ve even built a retirement block where the garage was. Those old folk in there will be having a panic.
