Where's Noah? I need an ark

So the other day my roommate wakes me up by saying, "Jordan, there's something outside you need to see...and bring your camera". Ooh, I thought, this has to be good... and I was definitely not disappointed. When I got to the front of our apartment building I saw a river where our street should have been. There were at least 2.5 feet of water floating by... it was crazy. After talking with some of my neighbors who had gathered to witness the flood I learned that in our barrio (Palermo) floods are not all that uncommon. Apparently it happens about 6 times a year after heavy rainstorms because it's a very low-lying area and we're close to Rio de La Plata. After 2-3 hours the street was bone dry, but I did get in some good pictures before the tide receded so take a look.
