  • After some heavy rain, a blocked drain flooded a busy intersection. When the drain was cleared a big whirlpool developed. There's a couple of drains in the same location but it took me ages to find the second one!

    Great job clearing the drains. It looked like water was coming up out of the drain on the right and the sediment it was carrying means erosion somewhere and the possibility of a partial collapse.

    • @njy69
      @njy69  2 года назад +1

      Great point, it seems every time the rain is really heavy it washes up out of the drain with a lot of sediment. As you say, probably a partial collapse further up the drain underground.

    The drain you showed around 08:45 seems to actually be the source of the light brown water. (You can see the water well up). There was an endless stream that wasn't fed by any other stream. Good job in clearing the other drain, it avoided the whole street from being blocked even further.

    13:17 - That's what happens when someone pushed leaves and debris down the storm water drains. It always get stuck inside the pipes and the catch basins and block them. That is why there is a grate on top to stop all that stuff from going down there.

    The one arm struggle fest is annoying. Get a tripod, some sort of head or body strap. Or put your camera/phone in a pocket til you get the water flowing and use your voice to tell us what is going on.
