My Wetlands getting a good lot of rain water.

What you have to think about is that the water should be back over 5 to 9 meters back from where it is.
I think they said we had something like 100 mm of rain in the 24 hours which is like about 3 times as much in one day to what we would get in a month.
We had wind to and even got rain water into my place due to that.
I will just post photo and please excuse me as they are done on my phone.

wow, looks like my neighborhood did the last time we experienced a tropical storm. Heavy consistent rain in our case overwhelmed the drainage system and I was able to float my kayak in front of my house!

In my area we have got a lot of inland lakes and many have recently filled with environmental water and this is where a lot of the wetland birds have already gone to breed. We have got a stable population of wetland birds as it stands. So sadly I can see many new one coming in .

I think these rains were the tail end of a Cyclone from up north But I know it plays havoc on my arthritis. But I like the rain even if it hurts.

We even got a good drop last night as I was too sore to sleep then down came the rain , but at least I knew the reason to why it (me) was playing up with everything. But this will stop bush trips for a few day or so now. With all tracks soft under the wheels.

That does look pretty wet Ralph! When looking for a new house to buy recently we made sure that it wasn't close to any rivers! There's been quite a bit of flooding here over the last few years.

Good call. I have an uncle who chastised me for buying a home in Florida with an elevation of less than 1m above sea level. seeking higher ground is always a safer bet.
Ralph, hope you're keeping dry!
