Pictures of the big rain - just the beginning

 Our little creek, which this time last year was dry, is now a river for the 3rd time in as many months. But this is the biggest river we have seen yet - the roar from the back and front doors is incredible. The rain is blowing at right angles and looks like a moving curtain in the breeze. Thankgoodness we have a house on a hill. Nature is putting on a spectacular show once again. I'm not sure how we are going to get out to meet the school bus.

the two dams have now turned into a raging river



The pump station about to be flooded too

Poor trees trying to stay upright in the torrent

beyond the dry stone wall - water rising
