More Than A Month's Worth Of Rain Has Fallen Over Parts Of Aust

After weeks of not seeing a drop, parts of Australia have been drenched with rain after a massive storm rolled through.

Firefighters and drought affected farmers have been praying for this moment ever since the forecast was made and the heavens have certainly opened up.


According to Sky News, a month's worth of rain fell over Melbourne over a few hours and the storm is now heading up through New South Wales.
.......
The Daily Mail reports the storm has been a massive win for firefighters, helping extinguish 32 bushfires in New South Wales.

I do hope everyone stays safe. Here in California we have to be wary of mudslides and flashflooding due to fires. I'm sure it is the same down under....Please everyone take care and be safe!

Thank you, Arkansas Granny, for posting this, update. I have been praying for rain, for them. I do hope, these rains won't amount to the the Australians fear of destructive flooding occurs and creates other potential crises. My heart goes out to every living being there.
