    It sure was a big dump my kids were surfing down the street on boards, the water was so bad it was from foot path to foot path, couldn't see the road not even the gutters.
    But glad the hail wasn't as bad this time, I thought the windows were going to go last time and they did down the Sinclair Ford show room.

    Nice pics bro. I'm from Cranebrook and we saw heaps of that too. Have you been past the lakes lately? It's pretty crazy really.

    And if you know Dunheaved Rd at all, just after the Werrington Rd roundabout there are 2 lots of parkland (there is a bridge on Christie St which is what Dunheaved Rd turns into when heading towards St Marys Leagues). They are now 2 lakes. I'm talking from dry baron ground to f#*king LAKES! You could moor a boat in there!
