According to all reports the 'rain is coming'. Along with wind & thunderstorms.
So with many fire bans & some standbys being activated, I thought we could capture where rain falls & any damage caused in one thread.

Fantastic if this is enough to build sub-soil moisture. Hopefully they will get followup rains in a few months. What area of the state is this ?

Who has rain water tanks & how much water has been captured in the past few days ?
I only have buckets & eskys along the edge of a garden shed roof (renting the house so I cannot construct a better system). But have captured & stored approx 100 litres.
