Floods

Queensland just experienced Cyclone YASI, and had devasting floods and weather. Being Mexicans we dont have to worry about all that nonsense, or do we. Last night and this morning we got the after effects of the cyclone and 200mm of rain in an hour or so. Whilst the gutters were overflowing and a bit of water in the garage we didnt really have too much to worry about. In the morning on the way to swimming it was clear we were lucky we had our bathers. The park we play at down the road had overflowed and flooded the bottom of our street. Also the major arterial down from Narre Warren was impassable. So a "fun" morning was had wading through the floods and looking at the new Narre South Lake.
And tonight it was a recce to figure out how to get the kids to school. Most roads north are still flooded so its a hike round through Berwick to get to Don Bosco. Fingers crossed that the classrooms didnt flood like last year..

Nassa - Wassa Road, still flooded at 8.00pm on the Sunday, 2 days after the rain.
