last year we had a record in Bergen with 220mm of rain in 4 hours. I remember manhole covers floating on a thick spray of water comming up from the ground, rivers formin in the strrets, and people swimming in subpassages. I have never been more soaked in my life, that day home from school. :D

Heavens! There was hail last week down in Sydney, which was pretty freaky. A bit early for hail.

We go quite a bit of rain today. No flooding though, which is good. The baseball sized hail and tornadoes did enough damage!
