Rain Damage

Today we received 96mm or 3 3/4 inches of rain in less than 24 hours.
It was a solid downpour most of the time - much needed.
The coastline took a battering and roads were washed away.
I took these photos from the TV.
The left photo is taken from the air of the broken bitumen.
You can see the double lines of the road in the right hand photo at the bottom.
That's the problem when we get too much too soon - the land cannot always take it.
Somewhere in the world - others are praying for rain & here we are with more that enough at one time.
Isn't nature a mystery?
That is serious rainfall! Meanwhile - we have sunshine - at last! Well.....until tomorrow anyhow!

Looks like you have had more than your fair share of rain!

Wow, that's some intense rain! It really is funny how it seems to be feast or famine sometimes with the weather.

That is a lot of water, wow! An amount like that and in a downpour often doesn't have the time to soak in.

We would have shared some of that gladly! Even my petunias look burned.
