Fascinating short video on how one resident and a lot of neighbours handled the flood in July

BURLINGTON, ON

A reader sent us a link to what people on a city street were doing when the rain came down July 15^th and 16^th.

The video has been sped up – what you sees is people darting all over the place.  You see the rain falling and you get to see the water working its way up a driveway and then receding.

The only thing missing if the time frame.

There is a point in the video at which much more than a handful of people working at clearing the catch basins.

If there is anyone who know the street and the time frame of the video – please pass it along:  newsdesk@bgzt.ca

Click here for the video – it’s quite short.
