Sprehod. V dežju. // A walk. In the rain.

Danes sem šla ven. Deževalo je.
So ... I went out today. It was raining a bit.

Velenje

Potem je začelo deževati bolj in bolj. Na poti domov je naša reka Paka izgledala takole:
Then it started raining more. And on my way home our river Paka looked like this:

Po navadi je tako nizka:
It's usually this low:

Izgledalo je, kot da dobivamo novo jezero. ;)
It looked like we were getting a new lake. ;) 

Velenje

Cesta je bila malo poplavljena:
And a road was a bit flooded:

Domov sem se vrnila čisto premočena, sploh nisem več gledala, kod hodim, ker je bilo tako ali tako vseeno. Nisem se preveč obremenjevala s tem, ker imam rada dež. Ampak ... Tile škornji so, ko so suhi, svetlo rjavi - zelo svetlo rjavi. Me zanima, ali se bodo sploh kdaj posušili. :D

I came home completely wet, I didn't even watch where I was going, it didn't matter much. I didn't mind though, I'm a rain person. But let me tell you ... These boots are light brown when they're dry - very light brown. I wonder if they'll ever dry. :D

Kakšno uro kasneje je celemu mestu zmanjkalo elektrike, kar se tu zgodi redko že po delih mesta. Bilo je nenavadno videti vse trgovine v temi in menda so vsi kupovali sendviče v bližnji trgovini (kjer je bilo prižganih par luči in blagajne so delale, ostalo pa ne, niti hladilniki), ker je bil ravno čas kosila, skuhati pa nismo mogli ničesar. Ata je šel ven takrat in posnel tole fotko:

An hour later the electricity went out in the whole town and that's very rare here (even in parts of our town). It was weird to see all the shops dark and apparently all the people went buying sandwiches in the nearby store (which had a few lights on and the cash machines were working but nothing else, not even refrigerators) because it was about the time for lunch and we couldn't cook anything. My dad went out during that time and took this photo:

Tole je na istem mestu, kjer sem naredila jaz prvi dve fotki, samo z druge strani. Še nikoli nisem videla Pake tako visoke in res se ne spomnim, da bi kdaj, odkar sem živa, poplavljala, čeprav je že zelo deževalo. Zalilo je tudi nekaj cest v Velenju, menda je bil ogrožen premogovnik in skoraj nismo mogli nikamor, ker so bile ceste več ali manj zaprte.
That's the same place where I was walking a few hours earlier and took the first two photos. I've never seen the river that high, I can't even remember if it flooded since I'm alive and we've had some heavy rain. We had some roads flooded in Velenje, apparently our coal mine was endangered and we couldn't get anywhere because the roads to the highway were more or less closed.

Ko smo dobili elektriko nazaj, smo gledali novice in videli, da pri nas še ni bilo hudo proti nekaterim ostalim (tudi bližnjim) mestom. V ostalih mestih je še huje, poplavljene so cele hiše, nekateri niso mogli domov. Ponekod so menda v nevarnosti še čez noč. Upam, da se dež kmalu konča, da ste vse na varnem in suhe in da se hitro vse postavi na svoje mesto!
Anyway, when we got the electricity back and started watching the news we saw that what was going on here was not much comparing to some other (even nearby) towns. Other towns in Slovenia were much worse, whole houses are flooded, they are cut from the rest of the country and some people couldn't even get home. They say some towns are still in danger over the night. So lets just hope the rain ends, people stay safe and lives get back to normal as soon as possible!
