There is a river right in front of my house. So we rarely had floods come in. But one time the water rose 20cm to our doorstep. You wouldn't want to walk too far because you didn’t know when you stepped from the street and the yard and fell into the river. But the real nightmare was when we walked to my grandparents’ house and passed by a neighbor with a pigsty that had its pig door with no cover facing the road.
