Heavy Rain Warning for all of Fiji

Well it is Monday morning and raining heavily as it has all night and the Met service here has issued a heavy rain warning and is predicting flooding of low lying areas.Welcome to Fiji in the wet season.
When it rains here it can really rain, an inch an hour for 8-12 hours and then a couple more feet of rain over the next couple of three days is not uncommon.The rivers rise and flood out over the delta's and submerge the towns which are generally built on there banks and close to the sea.The flooding is always worst when the tide is high.
My partner Siteri has just headed off to work in town but I expect her to be back soon as town will probably be closed due to it being flooded. Siteri went in anyway as she had some eggs she needed to deliver.(More on that later)
That's how I have come to start this blog as it is Monday and raining and doesn't look like it is going to stop in a hurry so why not blog away as there isn't much else a happening.
Having said that this whole bloging thing is a bit new to me as I haven't done anything like it before but I have been reading other people's blogs and I thought to myself why not have an on line diary as my memory is not what it used to be or probably should be so in the future when I am really befuddled I will be able to read it and think I forgot all about that.So there you have it something to forget and then remember.
