At our piece of paradise, we have 2 issues creating a problem for us. The first is a water pipe that burst. Not that it is leaking badly, but in a country that is prone to drought, I am always upset when water is wasted.
On top of being water logged from the leaking pipe, we are getting very heavy rain and now find the front half of our yard is under 6" of water. Being in a zone that is basically flat, it isn't running off so well and making it difficult to get work done on the pipe.
We just had contact with dear friends in Culcairn, they are now on high alert for flooding. The hospital there is being evacuated by the local volunteer firefighters and many in the town have been moved to the local showground pavillions. I am told that the only bridge leading into town from the southern end has water lapping at the surface and that the water is expected to peak at 4 mts tonight. Can only keep them all in my thoughts and prayers.
