Thursday it started raining and continued on Friday my shoes got wet every time I left the office as he drains couldn't cope with all the water. I had parked on a slope and on grass and was a bit worried about getting away but it was okay although we at and waited for several minutes for many cars to go.
When it is raining its not only the water coming down that one needs to worry about, its the greyness (is that even a word?) everything looks grey and it is hard to see the roads. Five people in our area were swept off a road and died.
I ended up only driving to Sheridan's and stayed there the night as it was too dangerous to drive home. Driving home the next morning when I needed the sun shield as the sun was so bright we counted 21 cars and one caravan that had been abandoned along the highway, this was only a 30 kms stretch.
Our local shopping centre which is spread over two blocks and two stories high had the lowe ground carpark flooded and pictures on media showed cars with water up to their windows.
