@annied Stay Dry! David is building the ark and I am getting webbed feet today ha ha
@ludwigsdiana David's brother lives in Western Australia and they haven't had rain for 7 months. I got a message from him this morning saying rain is forecast over there for the next 3 days. They desperately need it too.
So you have! Goodness. After that previous deluge that knocked out the power station and drowned it, I imagine you don't need much more for the Winter!
Gosh Babs - that's really a downpour. I hope you've been able to clean up without any permanent damage. Your collage is a great summary of what happened..
Great triptych with narration. Sure sounds/looks like a downpour. I hope it’s passed for you. I’ve just heard the first drops of rain that are forecast for the next week.
@kjarn You did well, the rain usually misses us but today we got tons of the stuff.
@robz Yes we have cleaned up now. The rain overflowed from the gutters under the eaves and through the top of the family room sliding glass door and from there it channelled along to the kitchen window where it poured down the wall. Of course, the kitchen drawers caught the overflow of the rain so had to be emptied and everything washed out. No permanent damage and the drawers are nice and clean again now. Luckily the floors are tiled in the family room and the kitchen so easy to mop up.
@walksnaplove Hope the rain eases off by the time it reaches you.
@wakelys Too right I didn't go out ha ha. I did venture out later this afternoon though because I had done some batch cooking of meals to put in the freezer and I made a few extra to give to Kay a friend of mine. She has lung cancer, and it is inoperable, so I took some meals for her to put in her freezer for days when she doesn't feel up to cooking.
@pusspup So I believe. It is still raining here now, and rain is forecast all week. Hope it isn't as heavy as it was today.
I'm glad that nothing was damaged Babs. Our "rain " today was a bit of a fizzer, enough to dampen the road but that was it. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a decent downpour.

Could be it’s not over yet…

It is still raining. We had 47 mm in the first 10 minutes of the downpour which caused the gutters to overflow. The rain was so heavy our gutters just couldn't cope. Luckily after that the rain wasn't as torrential but still carried on. We ended up with 96 mm in the last 24 hours up to 7 am today.
Rain forecast for the next few days but hopefully not as heavy as it has been.
No permanent damage, just a lot of water to mop up.
