Woke up and had to double check the time. Yup it was wake up time alright, but it was still dark. It was also wet, very wet with thunder rumbling over head. We had to keep the lights on in the trailer well into the morning before the sky lightened up.
After breakfast we decided that staying in may be a good plan, as it was pretty flooded outside. We had over 3½” of rain in just over 1½ hours. For those up north this equates to over 80cms of snow in 90 minutes! So far today we have had over 4″ of rain (1 metre of snow equivalent) and it is still raining!
Just before lunch we decided to brave the weather and jumped into the truck to drive around and see what conditions were like. The far end of the resort was totally submerged as the fishing pond had overflowed, in most places the grass was flooded as well. Outside the resort the roads were pretty good; they are obviously used to these downpours, and although the storm drains were very full, the roads were not flooded. Needless to say we won’t be walking (or paddling) today. The forecast is for more rain and thunder tonight and then warm and dry until we leave.
