These are some quick pix's this morning, would have posted earlier but had to call and wait for my electrician, he came and all is OK even with the odd light leaking a bit of water...... so much rain has come down the drains have not been able to cope with the amount of water. Inside of my roof has been checked today and I have the odd small leak due to a few cracked tiles and lots of wind blowing the water inside....... my repairs are only minor in comparison to other people and I am able to do the repairs myself....... these shots will give you an idea of how much rain we have had......
this drain is just not coping and the water is coming out not in......
Image

Water getting into the back of the garage which is a drive through lucky the concrete slopes down and no damage........
Image

The drain at the end of this pathway is just a bit full.....
Image

Part of my yard is concrete as you see it is just one big pool.......I don't need to water the garden for a while........
Image

any one for a swim .......NO SPLASHING

Vince I am closer to coast about 6k from the beach, but the rain is all over the coast. People living on flat areas have been worse off than others, ......... I wish them the best.....

Thanks for your thoughts.......

After lunch the rain stopped and every thing is back to normal at my house, the grass is very soft to walk on almost need gum boots, the house around the cornor has lost their brick fence 6feet high x about 40 feet long, the fence is having a bit of a lie down.

A 60 second muckabout... wet media brush and a motion blur.... It was too tempting to leave it alone.
