my drive home along SZR was not pleasant!
and in Umm suqeim had to drive through a few flooded streets where the water was alarmingly high!

Re: the It's Raining, It's Pouring thread
 

A friend of mine in Um Sequim is under water - and there are steps some four foot high up to her front door!

Re: the It's Raining, It's Pouring thread
 

the water is high across umm seq and jumeirah...it's quite scary in places...

well its was well above my door sills but I did the old bow wave trick which seemed to work!

Re: the It's Raining, It's Pouring thread

enter the water slowly. then speed up gradually to abt 10mph and keep it at a steady speed. creates a wave in front of the car which lowers the water height behind the wave.

Re: the It's Raining, It's Pouring thread
 

what, you mean you don't speed up to ensure maximum tidal wave...that's where i've been going wrong then...

Re: the It's Raining, It's Pouring thread
 

you only speed up to ensure maximum tidal wave if you see someone stood next to the road :sneaky:
