Droughts Broken
Here at Paynesville Vic. we have had almost 5 inches today following up the 8 1/2 inches last week. We had 73 days of bushfires in this area earlier this year, now the Princes Highway both East and West of Bairnsdale Vic. (our main shopping area) has been cut by floods and it hasn't looked like stopping all day. Another couple of big SE lows are also bearing down the coast at the moment.Generally, when this happens, it rains for 3 or 4 days straight. We haven't had rain like this for 9 years. Had to pump the boat out twice today and it has an automatic bildge pump as well. We've been on stage 4 water restrictions for many months and they moved to stage 3 two days ago.
I guess the droughts broken.
