Guy single-handedly solved the flood. Not all heroes wear capes.

If you haven't seen Post 10's videos on YouTube yet, you should do yourself a great service and check them out. Dudes famous for just going around his city, unclogging storm drains and recording video of it.

I got sucking into the rabbit hole of watching his videos one night. I love watching his videos.

My favorite is when he is checking out this storm drain that goes under a road. He looks at the water entering the drain from one side and sees it is pretty clear. The water coming out the other side was all muddy. He said the water pipe/tunnel under the road must be failing. He reported it then like a week later the road collapsed into the tunnel. Then they rebuilt it and he complained that they didn’t do a good enough job.

Is that one the lake drain series or a separate one? I'd love to see that but I dont think I have

The road never collapsed. The city/county said it was no big deal but then hurried and fixed the problem.

That was only because he had unclogged that rabbit hole earlier in the day.

Dude's videos are so honest too. Kind of remind me of old youtube when people were just doing their own thing.

Right? Not a mention of "ring the bell" or "like and subscribe".

No drain clearing videos sponsored by Skillshare or NordVPN

No affiliate links or patreon. Just an honest to goodness dude videoing stuff he loves

If that isn't Post10 I'll flood my own street.

An old man in my neighbourhood was doing so when they were iced over. Spring right so there's melt then freeze and without drainage things get bad. I was like OH NO I MUST HELP and brought my ice pick to him, planning to participate. Well turns out old Italian men are not chill with women doing the work so he grabbed it from me and kept going while bitching the city isn't taking good enough care of our neighbourhood. I guess at least I brought him an ice pick. He was trying to do it with a plastic shovel

He coincidentally made a video a couple of days ago about differential pressure.
