Waipukurau.

A very black cloud has only just past over dumping a huge amount and water on our town. The gutters filled up and overflowed. The drains blocked with leaves.
No wind but the vane is pointing north-west.
The sun is back and the blue sky.
20 degrees outside and ditto indoors.
We hope the sun stays around for a few days.
