I didn't have internet, cellular service, electricity since Friday lol, ran out of food on Monday and went grocery shopping and somehow managed to charge my phone at the store and I'm online now. Sadly there's no water so I took a sponge 'bath' using mineral water bottle eh :/. I'm mostly fine and not drowning, just confused af and wondering about my flight. I saw in the news people in Colombo (that's where the airport is) were basically swimming in water?? Idk what's going on, since I had bottled water and some food I stayed home and napped for couple days lol.
 
Oh wow, this almost sounded like a movie scene... Your version of Cast Away

Glad to hear you are alright and back to civilization... stay safe :)
 
I did not hear about this until now. The river depth was double what they consider extreme! I hope your flight doesn’t get impacted but the river level is expected to fall below danger level within the next 4 to 6 hours. Be safe hope you get power back soon!
 
Did you write that article, or is that just what's going on in your area?

That sounds so rough and unexpected, glad you are pushing through, stay safe my friend and I hope things are perfect again soon!

Yeahhh, why we aren't swimming? I mean, I don't complain! Just wondering. Maybe the house is elevated, no? We're in the mountains after all. Even ground floor isn't flooded. There's like, this hole in the garden, I think excess water goes there? Got power back but it's still not fully functional but mostly ok, cellular service came back today. Still no water but I managed to order bottled water and some food from restaurant online lol.

Glad you got some power back, cellphone, water and real food at least!

idk but whatever the reason is that you’re not swimming is a good reason! Check out this graphic about the flood in the river there. Incredible flooding all around that river for sure!
