It is a tad wet up here. Had nearly 2 inches of rain over 24 hrs. Now down in Joondalup (we are on grand parent duty at 6am and this little black duck wasn't getting up at 4am!!.) Bloody hell.... big thunder clap directly overhead, whole house shook...very tempted to join the dog under the bed!!
"Yep" It's been a bit on the wet side ( 20km South of Perth ) as well, I found a 40l plastic container in the back yard almost half full of rain water, if that's anything to go by, we must have copped around 100 mm of rain !!!
Not much thunder here though, The Daughter living in Huntingdale, ( about 10km away ) said they got a real good hammering from the thunder, plus loads of hail as well.
This should make the Farmers happy, now they can see their crops come alive, probably bring on the Wild Flowers as well,
