1259635 2012-02-17 08:45:00 Just happened to glance outside around 8pm to find I had no front lawn and a impressive river instead of a driveway!

Water stopped about 4 foot from my garage door, but one of the neighbours had their car submerged up to the door handle. Attached photos were taken after the water had dropped about 1 foot.

It was the deepest outside my drive, with a nearly 4 ft tide mark on the fence. :eek:

I have been generous and shared the bark from my garden with all the neighbours. :o

1259636 2012-02-17 08:49:00 As long as you are alright? That's the main thing. :) R.M. (561)
1259637 2012-02-17 08:59:00 Yeah, I'm good now that I am over the shock of it all lol. The water has drained away now too... although I can hear the rain starting up again. :waughh: Jen (38)
1259638 2012-02-17 09:43:00 And they Wellington has the bad weather :D ----- Narrrrrrrrrrrr, even when it has been wet here its next to nothing, cant actually remember when we had a real wet day.
Its been so hot and dry here today its not funny. Not a cloud in the sky all day, and night sky is beautiful and clear, plenty of stars, not even a hint of a breeze.

Stay dry ;)

1259643 2012-02-17 21:12:00 The joys of living at the bottom of a hill, eh! Glad it wasn't worse.

All the rain did here was top up the pool, which is a $$ saving and effort reduction for me...

1259644 2012-02-17 22:12:00 Yes, at work from 8am to 7:30pm yesterday(Albany), seeing this on the news, looking outside - going outside - in the beautiful blue sky and hot sunshine.

Colleagues said wait till I get home - on arriving was told it had rained hard at 11am but nothing dramatic, and then it rained again around 8:30pm, in a minor way.

So....missed all the excitement at both locations....
