Last check of my rain gauge at 4.00 pm today when we went from continuous steady rain falling to a break with nothing falling in the manner of rain gave me quite a surprise.
I figured that with the intermittent heavier showers after my earlier foray to check the gauge we might get a bit more but to now have a tally of 2.4 inches.61 mms of rain in under 24 hours here is quite something when our normal AVERAGE Annual Rainfall is a mere 10 inches.
According to both my records and those from the B.o.M. we have had a years supply of rain fall here in just under 4 months.
i'd guess that the 2 Reservoirs near town would have well and truly started to gush water over their spillways, the local Emergency Service would have handing out sandbags like hot dogs at a Sporting event and the School kids would have been climbing the wals because they were not allowed outside to play, etc.
Btw, Evangelfools' backyard is now under approx. 2 and a half feet of water and the rain has gotten its second wind and starting up again.
On a lighter side, has ANYONE the cellphone number for Noah, we may well need his wooden boat....LOL.
