"We may find that water has seeped in under the floorboards, water may have seeped in behind the walls, it may have actually caused some some serious structural damage to premises," Mr Carr said."It's every possibility that the total damage eventually will be in the tens of millions of dollars."

Does the measuring device of Olympic swimming pools really mean anything to anyone?
Sigh!!! 🤔They whinge when it’s dry... 🤔They whinge when it’s hot... 🤔They whinge when it’s dusty... 🤔They whinge when it’s cold... 🤔They whinge when it burns... 🤔They whinge when it rains... 🤬 I’m going back to my glass of whisky 🥂
