Last Friday began with rain and thunder that put our power out for 7 hours. We had a number of heavy storms and finshed with 23 mls here in Orroroo. Bigger storms down south and west of Black Rock around 47 mls causing Harris's creek to flood twice during the afternoon. The first photo is in the road crossing at Harris's at about 6.00pm when it had dropped quite a bit. The second photo is some of the water that finished up at the entrance of the airstrip on the road to the farm. The other photo is of the wheat crop out under the hills , at this stage not showing any rain damage. A number of farmers with barley have had big losses with heads on the ground. Internet off line for a couple of days after the storms very frustrating. Jeanie went for a drive around the farm yesterday and was able to have a look at the crops and the reservoir which has quite a lot of water in it now, the highest since last century.

Wow!! How does that saying go, 'it never rains but it pours (or floods) Glad you havn't suffered any crop damage so far. Long may that continue. Must be a relief to have some water in the tanks now though! Love to all.
Thanks for sharing those photos with us dad. What insane weather! Glad to hear that your crops have survived so far. Hope that you can still manage to get something into the silos before anymore weird and destructive weather.
Love and hugs -Debbie
