Yet More Rain

I emptied our rain gauge at 7 am this morning and then checked the weather radar on the Internet. I did a screen grab of this weather front hitting us at 8 am this morning.

There is another front on its way behind this one but about half an hour ago the rain finally stopped and we have had almost 70 mm rain from 8 am to 4 pm today.

We were going out with the walking group today, but, of course, it had to be cancelled. We all went for lunch instead.

I was going to show you what I have been up to while I have been absent but I wanted to post this weather radar photo first.

You can see Nelson Bay in the picture just north of Newcastle.

We have got to go to Raymond Terrace tomorrow and that is by the river, so I hope it hasn't flooded and then we have to go to Maitland and I am expecting flooded roads there too.

It reminds me of the expression- it never rains but it pours!

[Peter]

[Joan Robillard]

Lunch instead of walk. Not a bad substitute

[Valerie Chesney]

On & on & on Babs...
We have had two severe thunder storms today on the sunny coast on top of the last 5 days.. Our daughter is flood bound with no power & our son has been evacuated from Ballina.

[Ingrid]

Oh no! Happy that you still did something with the walking group. Hope the roads are not too bad, but looking at your photo I only can say stay safe.

[Beryl Lloyd]

How terrible and depressing .. what's happened to the world with rain at both ends of the globe .!

[Lou Ann]

Safe travels!

[Dione Giorgio]

Take care. Looks like you are in for more heavy rainfall.

[LManning (Laura)]

It sounds endless! Stay safe and as dry as you can.

[Merrelyn]

The east coast has certainly been getting hammered. Stay safe.

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Oh wow, I hope it ends soon

[Leslie]

Yikes ....Always remember "turn around don't drown"

[carol white]

Hope the rain ceases soon

[Pat Knowles]

Wow that’s very dramatic….you’re getting a good dowsing indeed! It will be reminding you of England!! 🤣🤣

[bkb in the city]

That certainly is a lot of rain

[Esther Rosenberg]

Yikes!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

We've been there- there was one time a few years ago we had rain for 3 or 4 days straight. The river flooded and many low areas but thankfully our little house stayed dry. Hang in- I hope the next one that blows in is not as soggy!

[Shutterbug]

I feel so bad for you with all that flooding. The weather has totally gone amuck. We have had NO rain for the winter. We are in our 4th year of drought.

[Rick]

Oh wow, that's not looking good. Stay safe.

[Babs]

@kjarn The sun has finally shone again today, it is so nice to see blue skies again. Hope the rain has stopped where you are too.

Still got a lot going on.

After 10 days of constant rain, the sun is shining again today and it was so nice to walk on the beach again this afternoon.

[Kathy A]

Unfortunately its still raining down here 😢

[Sue Cooper]

We’ve been hearing on news about all the rain you’re having. Stay safe.
