Running around in my underwear getting soaked,climbing ladders to clear gutters because we got rain, that ws totally not forecast but so bloody welcome.

yahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Lucky bastard. How much?
Nothing on the radar up your way. Not that means anything.
 
I havent measured but I would think somewhere between 1 and 5 ... maybe 2 or 3 ish ??
So good
Its still going but a lot gentler
Pretty sure I know where you are because you related a story about a Doctor being a w***er and getting run out of town, which I was aware of.
And yes, some light showers showing up now.
Dry as a wooden god here and 38.

It'd be nice, but I gave up relying on weather forecasts many moons ago.
Rather look at bush indicators like ants and trees flowering/budding.
Not a sign from any of that, but I bloody well hope you're right.
We have had lots of ants coming inside which is a good sign and a pain in the arse
 
Paramedics/nurses/doctors.

Mrs Cruyff to be fainted last night. All of them were fantastic. She's OK now and we were only in hospital for a few hours, but by golly they all did a great job.
We had an unfortunate incident a few weeks back where a local was crushed by his tractor in a rollover. I attended as as a volunteer firey.
We are so fortunate to have a great local Ambulance crew who kept him alive until the chopper got here.
Just seeing the chopper land, and we are trained for this using beacons etc, was a thing of incredible skill. At night, in a paddock with trees surrounding.
Then I saw some quite remarkable stuff, out in a paddock under lights.
These helicopter paramedics ascertained that he had both lungs punctured so they opened this poor bugger up under each armpit to, I assume, relieve pressure/fluid?
They put him into an induced coma.
A whole heap of quite remarkable, (to me at least), stuff was carried out with precision, care, skill and total calm.
I was shitting myself just watching and holding a light.
We really are fortunate to have such incredible people.
Patient, who is an acquaintance, more than a close friend, is still in an induced come. 50/50 they reckon.

Hope he pulls through
We are lucky in parts of Australia to have a chopper and the people on it.
I live above the place the choppers land and when you see one come in you know something bad has happened.
A friends baby got 5 coastal taipan bites.
Still alive but severely disabled.
For him they sent in a military chopper which is unusual maybe the regular one was busy??

Last year it was car accidents, snake bites, blue ring octopus bites, stingray stings,stone fish stings, runovers by lawn mowers.
