Re: FINALLY! Perth has some rain!
You have to laugh we cleaned up in the dark with the dogs getting in the way and my 5 year old daughter also getting in the way also but she thinks it is a great adventure.
Our house is under offer so at least we don't have any homes open to deal with!
The only light we have is from the computers at the moment.Sue.

Re: FINALLY! Perth has some rain!
My husband is a member of the SES, works in the communication bunker, taking calls and coordinating people to go where they are needed.
He had a call just after 4 to go in from 6 to midnight, and at that time they already had 150 jobs that needed sorting!
I got home to a couple of leaks, and my car is full of little dents. I drove my car through some very deep puddles, including one on the freeeway near the Warwick road exit, which had cut 5 lanes down to 1. I then had to collect 1 child from work at Whitfords (where the roof is leaking) and another from his girlfriends house, through some more v deep puddles!
Not a good day to be driving! Never in my 20+ years of driving, in many different countries, have I driven in such awful weather.
Just heard that the school is closed due to lots of flooding and tree damage around the place.
I know we need the rain, but a bit less at once would have been nice

We have escaped with no damage to anything, just a severely delayed and pissed off husband now on a train to Joondalup.

Re: FINALLY! Perth has some rain!
I almost drowned in Leederville, but loved the "blitz spirit" that suddenly appeared in everyone, the two ladies who dragged me out of the hail to shelter under Kaili's verandah, the very nice man who protected my laptop with his brolly whilst almost doing a Mary Poppins impression off the bridge to the station. Oh, and did you see what happened to the sky just before dark?

Re: FINALLY! Perth has some rain!
Things here are good. Congrats by the way, you are looking good.
Hope your husband got home ok, and you stay dry! I think the worst has passed.
