"No, please, the people of the sun don't approve. Winter is destructive. It better pass as quickly as it comes. I don't smaak to get cold bones."

mohshah.4 mentioned:

"Winter was never destructive back in the day because drains were cleaned and maintained. However, that happens if you use contractors. It pays more if you leave the job when disaster hits."

Mr.luckylibra shared:

"Wow... Look at all the high rates you're paying just for the city to find its way back into your house."

"Also, the council needs to check drains for obstruction before winter."

🖤 commented:

"I'm so sorry 💔 I hope you, your fam and home are ok 🙏 This winter season coming up is giving me anxiety already ☹️"

Rhino said:

"People living in flood areas don't brick-pave your entire ground. Leave spaces for grass to absorb the rain water."
