It's raining it's pouring....

Finally.  It has been many, many months since we've had rain here. We are in the grip of a very, very severe drought And tonight it's raining.  After a spectacular display of thunder and lightening the heavens have opened.

Woot!  I'm going outside. (even though it's 9:30pm!)

We've been living with Level 5 water restrictions  for awhile now (this won't change just because of tonight's downpour), but maybe it will wash all the dust off my car.  Car washing has been prohibited since April 10.  Level 5 restrictions mean that only spot cleaning of glass/mirrors/lights/number plates can occur - and my car is looking very shabby.

Oh my god - it is absolutely bucketing down!  Amazing. Here is a map showing just how bad it is.
