Well that's one way to put an end to a drought...

ulfruna, torificus, you guys high and dry? Ulfruna, hope the zoo's ok :) (it's set well up in the mountains, right?)

shenniefish, did you get home from school ok? I seem to remember hearing stories of Buses That Barely Made It Through, and so on.

Anyone else I've forgotten?

Depressing fact: the rainy edge of the storm is predicted to get as far as Goulbourn, but we've got a 25% chance of rain today and predicted fine all weekend. NO FAIR, Mr Weather.

Awww! Haha, hey! Yeah, I survived relatively unscathed. Thankfully most of the actual flooding happened south of the zoo; we actually got more wet on the grounds themselves during the rain in March. Though during this weather we did end up with water over the highway, so getting to work was a whole different story. My little, not particularly powerful, low-slung car didn't make it; and spent a lovely night sitting by the side of the road on the Bruce Hwy waiting for conditions to settle and probably for bits and pieces underneath to dry out? Thank goodness I have a co-worker that not only lives NEAR me, but was BEHIND me in the traffic that day!!

Some lucky animals got to sleep in and stay in their dry, heated shelters and not have to come out in the morning. ;) Unfortunately, the lack of paddocks to clean was canceled out by the relocation of sand washed out of a camel yard. >D

There were some pretty spectacular photos in the Sunshine Coast papers though (some scary, some amusing, ie the guy having his kayak pulled down the street by a 4WD), and two of the three carparks at my husband's work went under. Heh. Water, hey?
