3rd day of school and we're closed!

On the main road on the way to school.

It rained last night. Not a big deal right? Wrong. Today was the scariest drive of my life. The puddles are deep when you are in a little Kia. Every road is wrought with deep holes, some roads where like rivers. The water floods over our bonnet. But you know what? After finding a couple of the roads were actually closed, or blocked by other cars who were stuck, we made it to work, on time. However, not everyone was so lucky.... our friends car got stuck, and water started seeping in through the doors! 
In the end, all the parents or drivers of the 550 children who come to our school were turned away and the decision was made to close the school for the next 3 days. Perhaps it's because the roads around our school look like this:

You try and get cars (there's no buses) for 550 children down this road. It's not going to happen.
