Storm boy

We got back from staying at Clarence Town at my parents-in-laws' place yesterday to find an inch of water through the garage.  We had a drainage channel installed across the driveway a few years ago to avoid problems, and it works on all but incredible rainstorms.  Since the drain has been in, it has come into the garage only twice; once last night.  In looking further it seems Sydney had its biggest storms in ages which prevented a result in the third One Day International between Australia and the West Indies.

Kangy Angy topped the rainfall to 9am on 13-Feb-2010 with 122mm, and Gosford came in fourth with 75mm.  The evidence was here, although we missed the storm itself.  At Clarence Town itself, however, there was no rain: in fact it was one of the hottest nights I've experienced for a long while.  Some rain would have been welcomed to bring down the stifling temperatures, but it obviously pulled up just a little bit to the south of us.
