Flood!!!
So, we've had A LOT of rain in Launceston lately. And on Tuesday it was HEAVY! It had been raining all night and was still going strong when Anthony woke up. He came rushing into the bedroom saying, "Jess! You've gotta come see this!"
Tearing myself out of bed (I really didn't want to get up out of my warm bed), I looked outside the kitchen doors to see this:
OUR COURTYARD FLOODED!
(Most likely due to the horrendous and pretty much non-existent drainage system outside).
As the rain continued relentlessly, our courtyard continued to fill... right up to our doorstep!
Our 'doorstep' is a rather deep chunk of concrete, so that means there was A LOT of water in our courtyard!
Luckily, as the rain slowed, so did the filling and eventually the water drained away... Phew!
