35 years ago wettest day in Sydney
On this day 30 years ago, has it really been 30 years….Sydney was being drenched by record rainfall with 250 – 300mm across most suburbs and 318mm in the city from memory 24hrs up to the 6th August. People were cut off and train delays were typically 4 to 5 hours. People slept in houses accommodated by people since they could not cross flood
water completely cut off St Mary’s and Mt Druitt. I could not believe how rain could consistently fall for such long periods often heavy including through the night. I was so excited I went downstairs to check and simply to experience such an event I had never witnessed! Incredible event.
I remember it like it was yesterday
That must have been awesome
