Jesus that looks dramatic, quite scary.
Also reminds me how class the Deeper Underground video is.
Edit – As an aside, it is mad that THIS intensity of practical SFX and water stunt stuff was viable for a music video back then, and how much money they put into them:

If the Titanic was on that would have been immersive af.
We’ve had some heavy persistent rain the last few days out west, but wouldn’t have thought it would done this much damage.
Something somewhere must have failed because that building was gushing at the seams and is destroyed.
Are they looking for editors at The Journal?
A building can be evacuated of people and a person can be evacuated from a building. But if you say a person was evacuated and you don’t say from where, then it means something was evacuated from the person. And 99% of the time that is referring to a colonic irrigation.
So the headline actually says „Customers had their shite removed and cinema forced to shut“. And I don’t think that’s what actually happened, or I hope not.
It should say „Cinema evacuated and forced to shut“.
Woah that’s a lot of damage. Flat roof buildings are always at risk in sudden very heavy rain. Happened to a Dunnes in Kerry a few years ago.
Can someone explain to me why flat roof buildings are so ubiquitous ? Wouldn’t a roof at a very slight angle serve the same purposes, whilst simultaneously directing water to flow right off the edge of the roof ?
Big flat roof structures probably should be reviewed here terms of their abilities to handle flash flooding cloud burst rain events. That kind of weather is becoming more common. It’s going to mean needing more effective drainage etc.
That cinema easily a million spent on the facade as it was coming apart in the rain, now this. The drains on the roof were probably blocked.
Looks like jamiroquai’s godzilla video for his song „deeper under ground”.
Customers evacuated? I know flooding can be scary but shitting yourself is a bit over the top.
