I couldn't get to work this morning. Access road had about 30m wide lake over it.

Just come back from digging a 20m long trench to stop the neighbours yard from flooding.

The mountain out the back has a massive yet beatiful fall cascading down it.

My job hunting focus group got sent home as well at about 11am. I had to sprint through heavy rain, dove in the car and ... nothing. no dash lights, no central locking, no start. had to mess around under the bonnet, got 100% soaked and finally started the bastard. Then was crossing bridges with rivers right under them on the way to carseldine. this is scary.

Most of riverfront commercial buildings left around midday.

Pretty much everyone near the 5 million water ways in T'ba really should have flood insurance...at least her parents place was up high. Most new houses built are just on low concrete slabs these days.
