Calm before the Storm

[itiwhetu]

This is the calm before the storm here on the West Coast, New Zealand. We have a weather watch code red. We are expecting 500-1000mm of rain over the next 48 hours. This is what we look like now, I will put up photos of the storm as it comes through. Hopefully!!

Thanks, we love it here. We have a business doing garden maintenance for the elderly, and my wife's passion is her garden. I have four golf holes on the front lawn.

Are those numbers correct?
Is there a cyclone heading your way?

No. The land has been flipped, which means it should just drain away and we shouldn't have any flooding, but this is a lot of rain, even on west coast standards.

This is what we have been told to expect. I think in reality we will get around 300-400mm of rain at our place, but who knows.

That's still a lot of rain, we don't even get that in a month here.
