Last night we had the most amazing thunder and lightning storm ever, it was almost directly overhead and the rain fell like a solid blanket with no holes in between! When we went for our walk this morning we went a new way and along the road we crossed a concrete bridge. The water off the hills was still running fiercely even though the rain had stopped long before. You could see that in the night the river, which was now around six feet below the edge of the bridge, had risen up and over flowed, there were pieces of debris left on top of the road way.
The flash floods you can get here are sudden and dangerous if you are living below a hill, I just heard on the news last night of a family that lost their house like this. I know that many local type of plywood houses here have been lost before to floods, it’s a constant problem.
