They do say be careful what you wish for.... I had 24 ml yesterday in my rain gauge but have been up most of the night due to my house flooding. Difficult to clear up as it was coming in from the architrave around the windows in kitchen, bathroom, living room and bedroom. I'd get some up in one room and would have to go and do another one... I gave up at just before 5am as I was shattered. I pushed all the furniture to the other side of the room from the windows and went to bed hoping for the best. It was still raining when I got up and had to wait for the grader to come and clear some of the road so I could get out. I could not believe the size of some of the rocks which had come down, pushed by the force of the water. It was still running as I left. Took towels into the launderette to get dry and to get some shopping. When I was driving back home the sky was incredibly black and it was obvious I would get soaked when I arrived home. I sat in the car for 20mins but could see the waterbutt was flooded so had to check the hose which was supposed to drain it off into the water channel. It was blocked. Garden is flooded and I cannot get down to check it as it needs to drain a bit first. This was the worst it has been in the over 15 years I have lived here...
ENOUGH; NO MORE!!!!!
