Rain, Rain, Rain

Okay, it's been raining a lot these days and it's been that way for weeks, now that I really stop to think about it. It doesn't always rain hard each day but we get rain almost daily and the sun hasn't shone for a full day in quite some time. The weather in and around Brisbane was pretty crappy all over Christmas, with beaches being closed down and people having to evacuate their homes because of flooding. I think we picked a really good week to be away! Anyhoo, here's a couple of pics that I snapped the other day when the heavy rain hit. Man, it rained SO hard!!! Steve had to go get Jesse from under the house and bring him into the house because he was too scared to step into the rain and the VERY large puddles that quickly filled our backyard. Unfortunately, it's not like home... the rain does not help break the humidity and even after this particular big rain, it stayed VERY humid. Ick. I like the heat but hate the humidity! In these pics, you can see the rain running off our roof. I wish the pics showed the intensity of the rain though!
