It stopped raining for some days now.
But the flood is still there.

And will be there for some weeks more.

Glad I have somewhere else I am staying until the water reduces.

Why is it taking so long to dry?

The city is a water state.

Are you below sea level?

The state is a known flood state.

You still haven't written your introduction.
With that I could have known the country you are chatting with and describe it well.

I'm still thinking about it, but I have an idea of what to say on my introduction post. I think I'll post it later today.

Can't the government there do some works to help the flood go away faster? Like some kind of canalization or an underground drainage, or something like that?

Alright
I will be expecting.

That's the point, they are not really trying and they most times use the opportunity to call for funds and aids.
