Almost Flooded

Thank God that the weather is fine now. It has been raining a lot last week and many parts of the city has been flooded. Our house is near the river and at about 2:30 am we saw that the river water has risen fast. And since we've already experienced our house to be flooded by the river water earlier this year, we all decided to evacuate our house at around 3am. It was better to be on a safe place especially we have children with us. We stayed at our Aunt's place and our friend's place the following day.

I saw the river nearly overflowed but we're thankful that it didn't flood. The sun also rose the following day and caused the river water to subside and go back to it's normal level.

Now with the climate change and unpredictable weather, my Mom is thinking to move away from the river and settle somewhere else. We're looking for cheaper options to build a new house for her, whether a manufactured home or anything that's cheap. Hopefully, this plan could push through.
