News & Updates from A. Assenbruck · Page 13

We were a bit sad after not getting the good summer rain we were forecast.On the weekend the ants were building up their nests and i joked to hubby we were going to get a flood.

Well the ants were right!

A weather systemcoming up from down south brought us 166 mm over two days.

While we are heartbrokenfor those adversely affected we are thankful our dam is now full (had been empty for 2 years) andwe may be able to have cattle again soon.The pic is of the water at the bottom of our road, the road turns 90 degrees on the left andwas under water for another 500 m to the bitumen.

The last time we saw water like this was duringthe 2011 floods brought about from a cyclone coming down from up North.
