Water, water, everywhere...

We've had two days of severe storms in New South Wales, with ships running aground up the coast, cars being washed off highways and flooding and storm damage in the major cities. Our little area has escaped relatively unscathed. The only impact was, ironically enough, we lost our mains water for several hours yesterday. Fortunately, the problem of finding water when the stuff was bucketing from the sky was solved relatively easily. One thing we did find out though, was that our emergency supply of bottled water was all past its (or rather its bottles') expiry date. We now have a new stash for the next emergency, for a grand total of $4.70.

More storms forecast for this afternoon. It's actually quite amazing how much water has been coming down, even for Sydney.
