The Big Wet

Sydney has received a bucketing today. This is the water canal behind my house.
Wow! Cool shot. That is a wet situation!

OUCH!! Stay dry

@netkonnexion @swilde it started raining again just after I took these and now its gone over the top and my whole yard has gone under!

@kjarn - I've never seen it so full. In fact, it was only a few short months ago that the canal was almost dry.

@jools its always almost dry if not dry. I've seen it this full three times in the 25 years I've been living here but today was the worst as it went over the top after I took these shots.
April 18th, 2012  
wow
April 18th, 2012  
@kjarn - did you take another photo after the levie broke?
April 18th, 2012  
@jools no, it was torrential rain at the time so I just watched out the window.
April 18th, 2012  
wow! a lot of water!
April 18th, 2012  
@kjarn - fair enough. Is the backyard still flooded? What a shame you didn't get a pic of that as well as have an old one of the dry canal for comparison.

@jools the water went away as quickly as it came when the rain stopped but its pouring again now and they say it will be worse tomorrow so I may have the opportunity for another photo. You've given me an idea - I'll take one when the canal is empty again and make another collage.

@kjarn - good. Can't wait to see it.

wow that is some serious water - I heard it was on the way. Cool!
April 18th, 2012  
Oh goodness. I heard it was pretty bad up there!!
April 18th, 2012  
Oh wow. That is a lot of water! Stay safe and dry.
April 18th, 2012  
Holy cow! I guess I won't complain about the rain here....
April 18th, 2012  
Oh my gosh, I saw that and thought it was about to burst and then I read your comment! Are you ok? Hope it hasn't got any higher than the yard?
April 18th, 2012

Wowsers!! You got a surfboard? Looks like it could be fun!! :-)
Tell me, are the stalkers still stalking?

@tabbycat the last time this happened my youngest was about 10 and she wanted to do just that although I couldn't predict a happy ending with tons of water flowing at about 100km an hour!

Seems to be all quiet on the stalking front.
April 22nd, 2012  
wow, that is some SERIOUS water!
April 22nd, 2012  
woah - this looks pretty full - hope it settles down quickly for you
