The best thing about the recent Sydney rainstorms is that it's replenished the water in the dams. Warragamba Dam, the biggest supply of water for our city, went from 43% to 71% full in the space of a few days (and is still rising)! The worst thing about the rain is the carnage that it's caused. The Sydney Metro flooded, power outs everywhere, and a fallen tree that has blocked our street (it's now 6 days). Not being able to go to work, the garbage not been collected, are just a couple of consequences from the tree. SES and Ausgrid have been very busy, and as a result, we're still waiting.
This is not the first time our street has suffered from a storm. A couple of years ago, a similar thing happened, and we lost power for days. I guess that's a consequence of living in a leafy suburb rather than a concrete jungle.
Anyhow, it's an inconvenience, and in a week or two, it'll be something that we've forgotten as we move on to another challenge.
Stay safe, and keep creating!
