We just got a massive storm.It bucketted down for 40mins - we got 44mm of rain ! yippee! We're on tank water and we haven't had any dam filling rain for 18months so it was looking dicey for summer. Our creeks only run in flood rain and we're on the top of a hill so other than the driveway gravel washing away we love big storms!
I went down to rug Zeuss as it was coming and there was a massive crack of thunder & the roos & he took off.I called him & he cantered up to me to get his rug on.
There was heaps of runoff and I didnt care that the fire chimney was leaking like a seive..There was some small hail which didn't impress the roos who were diving around everywhere trying to avoid it.I couldn't see Zeuss he was right down the bottom of the paddock but he wouldnt have been impressed either!
I'll post some pics later.
Our middle dam is now full but I doubt whether our big one rose much.. which is a pity as its just a puddle at the moment. La Nina bring it on!
( the best bit was I rode Zeuss this morning so it doesn't matter if the arena is a swamp..)
I looked at the radar and it seems like we copped the heaviest rain in the state..wow we won one for once..
