Day 59

As my sister always says . . "Thunderbolts and lightening, very, very frightening"! Well I know Queen said it first but she said it today lol!

The rain came on fast and heavy this afternoon right on pick up. I walked to pick up the kids from school not believing it would every rain, let's face it, we've had storm clouds for weeks and not a drop so why would today be any different?! Well it was and boy did we get wet walking home - but it was cool, not as if it was cold (it's still 32.3 degrees - 8 degrees cooler than it was at 1.30pm!).

.

Thankfully though the REALLY heavy stuff stayed away until we got home and boy did it bucket down! Poor Isabella had kittens from the sound of the thunder and Scarlett was oddly quiet. Josh and I however were hanging out the door trying to get photos and dodging the rain as it blew in!

We have a bit of a clean up but no where near as much as friends. One friend's ceiling collapsed and another was very lucky, the water is lapping at her door step!

This was our backyard. The image does not do the rain justice, it was heavy and there was a LOT of it!

Our front yard and road - the water came up to over the footpath so the road was a little flooded.
