Flashy Flooding Hits Leura Again
Man, did we get dumped with a shitload of rain again or what?! Was it alot of rain or are the stormwater drains in this region simply not coping? We’re living on the tops of mountains here! 
Not much of a picture outside of my place, but this dumping was worse than the one two weeks ago. Cars had to drive onto the wrong side of the lane to get past.
I was practising how to drive when the storms hit, one just after 2pm and another after 3pm. Very hazzardous conditions on the road as you could barely see through the rain at all. Some sections of the mainstreets in Katoomba & Leura had rivers running even on the footpaths. Pity i couldn’t stop the car to take photos to relay the real drama =P.
Today was another familiar pattern of sunshine/dry morning, with storms begining to brew as it verges towards “end of school” time.
Shitload of rain here at the moment. Hope it’s enough to replenish the water levels in regions where they need it the most.

We’re having metling snow here now. i hope it will continue. That would be a very early spring in that case, so I have no real hope for that…. *sigh*
R’acquel: Wow. Can you take a picture?
Officially the beginning of Autumn yesterday. Some of the japanese maples on my street are making an early “fire” with their leaves. We don’t get snow here. Although the Blue Mountains region is a lot colder than Sydney, with the odd one-off fall of snow in winter.
