morning mandel!

hi news_hound how are the flooding going, I've heard some people died

yeh - it's been pretty nasty and the rain's getting worse again today. But there was one lucky escape: tinyurl.com/6jzwwm

may be cause my mother is from a dry country but

Leona Baxter, three, was playing in a puddle when she disappeared.

we where never allowed to play in puddles, what was she doing there???

I think they were crossing a park and the kid was jumping in the puddles.

the question for me is why wasn't there a barrier around the open drain?

well there's a barrier around it now, all right.

used to love splashing about in puddles as a kid.

well, if there was not a barrier the person responsable should be found... The paent is a hero, although I suppose anyone would that

at least for their own kids...

too true - but it still takes guts.

yes no doubt, specially when water is involved...
