We woke up during the night to the sounds of thunder and heavy rain. We had to get up to look.
By 9 am we have had about 40 mm and there are still storms around, It's a measure of how dry the last few months have been that we get so excited about such a small quantity of rain. On the other hand, our average for the whole month of December is just 57 mm.
Our creek has gone from being a dusty dry bed to looking again like a creek. I will check out the lonely pelican later in the day- I'm sure he is very pleased with himself this morning.
Our water tank has gone from near empty to 3/4 full overnight-- about 7,000 litres running off our roof and into the tank in a few hours.
For farmers in the region and bushfire fighters still controlling the fires up around Bingara and Bundarra this would have to be the best Christmas present ever.
Thank you Lord. You send rain at the right time.
