They always say it’s raining cats and dogs when we experience a heavy downpour. But with the unmerciful and massive rainfall that took place yesterday (Sunday) and today, I think it would make sense to say it rained cows and elephants.

A message even circulated via blackberry was informing guys who were thinking of patronizing ‘take-aways’ not to look for them on a popular street as the flood had forced them to abandon the place for another location. Hmmm…even ‘ashawo business’ was affected by the flood.
Everybody has a crazy story to tell like this tweet I caught on another blogger's site:

For the first time in my life living through the rainy seasons in Lagos, I saw serious flooding. I saw cars submerge in water, houses being held hostage by rivers of rushing rain water; pedestrians no longer walking but swimming. In fact vehicles were being rendered useless and the best option would have been to use a canoe.

And finally!
A HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my main man KIMSON MASTERS!
Oh...in case you're wondering who he is, he's the artsy dude behind almost all the illustrations you find on my blog; especially the ones on The Chronicles X series. He's done a lot of stints with Nigerian comics, illustrated for storybooks and a lot more that has to do with design and colors. He's the one behind the drawing and animation of the Orobo cartoon we experimented with. We're currently working on a project together. I felt he deserved to be honored on my blog for the important part he's played on the chronicles and on the project we're working on.
Many Happy Returns Pal!!!
