My flight was departing today and our house was flooding. I ran out of my room as the water rose rapidly. I closed the door behind me and watched the water level through the glass panel on the door. It was 4PM.

I suggested that I actually open my door, so that the water would flow out and down the stairs to the living room - which did not have any other exits. My parents agreed, so I opened the door and saw the water cascade down the steps and flood the floor below instead.

I was now able to walk into my room again. My room was partially underground but also had walls made exclusively out of glass. The light from the outside shone in and gave the room a blue glow. My laptop was still open on the now-wet desk. I cursed myself for forgetting to pack my laptop earlier when I evacuated the room.
