Atrocious weather yesterday. From around 4pm to about 4am this morning, we had bands of torrential rain. Each would last about 1/2 an hour, with almost continuous heavy rain between 1 and 3am. Mum and I were dealing with leaks at 3am.
It moved in a pretty narrow band, the same suburbs in northern Sydney were getting hit each time.
At Hornsby we had 158mm (6 inches!) in the 24 hours to 9am this morning. Berowra, which is north of us, got 209mm. Turramurra, which is 15 minutes away and always a wet spot, had 198mm (8 inches!). Frenchs Forest had 195mm, Belrose 180mm, and West Pennant Hills and Castle Hill each had 168mm.
It was the type of rain that puts you on edge.
