Last Sunday was a very hot day and by about midday, it was starting to look like we'd be copping a big storm. And a big storm we did cop. The sky turned dark and a strong northwesterly tore leaves and branches from our trees. 57mm was dumped on us in under 20 minutes, creating streams like this one in our bottom paddock, where streams normally don't flow...
the rain flowed sheet-like across the lawn, gouging out the garden bed...
Incredible energy and power transformed the usually trickling Julia's Little Creek into the murky, turbulent monster
and this is what the creek was like on the other side of McGuinness Road...banking up until it was almost at the level of the road...yet in 15 minutes it had subsided a good metre or so. Nature....a harsh mistress...
