Wet, Wet, Wet.

Have you checked the post below this one? I took some photos about 30 minutes apart late yesterday afternoon and posted them on the blog. About an hour after I took the photos last night the water in our court had all cleared! I took this photo this morning and shows everything is OK as far as getting into and out of our road again.

I have tipped 209mls (almost 8.5") out of the rain gauge this morning. More heavy rain is expected today and into tomorrow. We have had almost 11" of rain in the last couple of days.

The pool didn't overflow but I have both the overflow and the siphon working. The pool seems to be draining a little quicker, possibly a blockage has been cleared with all the storm water which went though the pipes yesterday! It may also be that the deeper the pool gets, the more effective the siphoning becomes.

It isn't cold either! Right now it is approaching 25 degrees. Needless to say everything is clammy.

It seems the heaviest maybe over as the rain system slowly makes it way south to the Gold Coast and northern NSW. Sunshine is expected to return to us by Thursday!

So far in 2011 we have had 14" of rain.
