Well what a day, weather wise, still pissing it down and windy as hell, neither of us have ever seen wind and rain like it, apparently there was. Tornado this afternoon, something shot through our yard, we were flooded out too, still are to a certain degree.

the power went off mid afternoon and was off until 6 45 the phone and Internet have just come back on.

 

hope tomorrow is better, really don't fancy another day of this .....

The rain seems to have stopped here, I was up and down during the night, at one point I thought something had put the bathroom light on, but I think it was lightening.

The garden is a disaster area, branches everywhere, and we don't even have any trees. Patches in the garden are still water logged but fortunately the drain has gone down now.

Stay safe every one, stay indoors.

Loads of tidying up to do here, I have tried to clean the floors inside, but have given up, he is in and out, he had a half hearted attempt at clearing the storm mess on the terrace, made it worse, so I have just finished it off, then what does he do, yes, step all over it again with his huge feet ....

And now he is fixing the bird table, oh I give up ..... Can't insert annoyed smilie but want to .....

Neighbour said there is a house around the corner with a blown off roof, poor buggers ...... feel sorry for them,

I'm flooded! The rain is blowing horizontal and has got underneath the roof tiles. There's water running down the garage walls and the floor is flooded. Gutters are clear but they're just not coping. Garage ceiling is dripping as well. Not much I can do atm.

I have moved the weather posts in to a thread of their own as I think people need to see what's happening out there and not everyone comes in CTF.

Everyone stay safe and bunker down. Thankfully it won't last much longer you are nearly out of it. After the floods it caused up here we are now back to blue skies and 40 degrees.

Lots of hugs to all of you :hug:

I really feel for you all. This is a normal wet season for us but our drainage system is excellent, the houses are built with a cyclone rating, I think ours is Cat 3. I don't think SQ has anything like this do they?

I think it's about time they looked at doing something though as these floods are happening every few years now.
