It seems that we are about to be drenched....again. For the third time in a month. Thanks very much ex-tropical cyclone, east coast low, and now we seem to have something called an "upper level trough and associated upper low" developing off the Queensland coast.
On Friday afternoon, I was stuck in a pretty big storm at the school where I work. High winds, trees blowing down, flash flooding through the school grounds, it was all happening. I had students working in the school library with a few kids and I couldn't get there from the admin block (at most, 5 metres away) to check they were okay. I had a few moments of anxiety about getting us all home safely. Fortunately it passed over and we were able to make it out with a few detours to get past the fallen trees on the access roads and motorway.
Now another downpour is on the way. I am praying that this one is over with by the time work starts for me again on Thursday and that the students will be able to travel safely to work over the next few days with their other supervisors.
But I just want to say that we have had enough rain for now. That is all.

The editor in me can't help laughing at this sentence:
"On Friday afternoon, I was stuck with my students at the school where I work in a fairly significant storm."
You work in a significant storm? Perhaps?
Oops. I actually did edit that sentence....but I posted in a hurry so I'm not surprised it's still wrong....
Edited again. I know that was a clumsy one....
Good job!
