This is tree stump in a suburban back garden.
Weather warnings tell us that there is worse to come.
In Sydney, the average rainfall for the month of February is 16mm.
The mean rainfall for Sydney in February 2012 was 118mm.
Warragamba Dam is expected to reach one hundred percent capacity tonight.
The spill gates will open automatically when it does, the first time this has happened in fourteen years.
Hope you are managing to stay dry!
ReplyDeleteIan, we had sun today...it was short lived but very welcome! Hope you're coping where you are too.

ReplyDeleteThe social media networks have been great with keeping people updated. I think one of the biggest problems for people living in these areas were the number of sightseers clogging the roads. They were also at risk of being cut off by flood waters too. Thanks goodness the situation has eased for the time being.
DeleteHope you weren't affected by the Dam overflowing, the weather has been incredible!
ReplyDeleteWe are lucky to live around 182m above sea level in the Blue Mountains. Many roads below the mountains were closed due to flooding but thank goodness, we didn't have to use them over the past few days.
DeleteI think we've already reached our average rain fall for March and March isn't even a week old!
