What 3 days of heavy rainfalls can do...








Today is a beautiful sunny day, like most days here are. But 2 weeks ago the picture looked different.
3 days of constantly downpour. Not just showers, more like someone emptying gigantic barrels of water.
Even the locals would shake their heads and would muse "I have never seen anything like this".

The diving had to be cancelled, the sea turned into a brown soup as far you could see out beyond the reef.
Within days things were back to normal.
The sea cleared, the road got fixed, the red car is driving again, the t-shirt shop did not collapse, Nova is back in business with an extended beach.
People whose boats sank got them rescued. Houses and businesses have dried up without having had too much damage to talk about.

As soon the rain stopped, West End came back to live as a bear after been hibernating.

Will let the pics talk for themselves.
