Last year it was cold by this time. There had already been one round of snow. This year the heavens have opened... some one has left the tap running up there. In the last couple of weeks it has been raining heavily on and off. But this week it rained and rained and there have been flood waters as high as 8 feet in some places. This morning in the south east the rain has eased and the sun is out but by night fall rain is going to be back - marching forward from the western coast. I feel so sorry for all those people who have been evacuated (some airlifted after breaking out of their roofs) and they are not sure what will be left of their belonging when they finally get home.
Rain is lashing and thunder is crashing
Lightening flashing and gales shrieking
River waters rising and current speeding
Next increase in downpour sees the banks breaking
Water gushing down the road and into houses
People distressed which the flood causes
Rescue services out in force
Saving people from the nature's force
Motorised life rafts struggling to reach all
Helicopters battling the elements to save all
All safe and warm finally deemed
Rescue services heroes deemed
