Well they are lucky.

Here is one of the "tar" roads I drive daily.

Those "puddles" are between 40 to 80cm deep.

 

[AstroTurf]

Field next to us at the moment.

Been pouring down here.

 

[Drifter]

Well, think of the poor souls in the Kruger. It's totally flooded. They got more than 300mm in less than 24 hours.

Is there something wrong with that storm tracker on weathersa?

Yeah, it's up to local standards only...

Animals have souls?

Blixem!

It has been bucketing down on and off in Garsfontein the whole night....

Pool is overflowing!
Lapa is flooded!
Neighbour's wall on other side of his property is busy tipping over!
All the manholes in the area are overflowing into the streets!

I'm staying in bed today!

Back to the once a week lawn mow it seems...

67.6mm this week so far in Craighall Park and more on the way.

 

[Grubscrew]

Rain Meter is overflowing so we must be over 100mm already since Thursday.

 

[Lupus]

Yeah heatwave in January to this sigh, I just want to get my electric usage back down to 240 units instead of 360

 

[Lupus]

Now of course unplanned outage sigh

Anybody with a measurement for the past 48 hours?

Dogs got hold of our rain meter months ago!

Willing to bet its over 100mm

Been raining solid for the last 2 days. I see a couple of storm water drains got damaged and lots of new potholes.

Willing to bet its over 100mm

Midrand just went over 100mm since Wednesday, 100.1mm to exact.

Ground is entirely saturated, feels like walking on a sponge. Hopefully we get a few days break.
