Floods and Tropical Monsoon


Well last night was when all the heavy rain really started. Mum awoke at 5am to see flashes of lightning and the heaviest rain she had heard for a long time. Mum then quickly ran outside and brought me in and I decided to do some zoomies around the house. The rain kept coming and the yard slowly started flooding. Alot of other places close by are flooded and no one can leave. All this is coming from a cyclone about 4 hours away and a monsoon low hanging around. Then the wind started to pick up and it wasnt until mum went down to the beach that she saw what was really going on. Trees had been claimed by the ocean, angry waves pelted the sand. The walk space on the beach was no more. The cyclone/low (may change) is heading straight for us so this weather may continue for a while to come.
