Literally!
I went to see the new Harry Potter film on Sunday in Chichester.
Just before we got to the cinema there was a huge storm. I've never seen so much rain fall in such a short period of time. It started suddenly and 10 minutes later it ended and was hot and sunny again. The drains couldn't take it and all of the roads were flooded, some must have had over a foot of water.
We got to the cinema (had prebooked) but couldn't get in through the main entrance as the foyer was flooded! So they let us in through the side entrance.
We sat through the adverts and the film started. We had watched about 20 minutes into the film when suddenly an employee walked to the front of the cinema and announced that they were evacuating the cinema due to the flooding! So we all had to leave via the emergency exit and were stood outside wondering what was happening. We walked round to the front of the building where some fire engines were positioned and another employee was announcing with a megaphone that the cinema had been closed and would not be reopening that day, and to show our tickets at a future performance for free admission to another showing.
That is the first time I've been evocuated from a cinema during the film. The film was getting really good by that point too. :( Oh well, will have to try again next weekend.
So we when went into Chichester and some of the shops had water dripping through their ceilings!
