Rain, rain, rain

I woke in the middle of the night to more rain and thunder, which sounded like it was just above us.  I then woke in the morning to see it hadn't stopped all night and it looked like we were now on an island and our tent a castle with a moat surrounding us.  The river has been going up and down since we got here but it has risen again after all the rain. 



We're expecting more storms over the next few days.  These storms are awesome,  like nothing I've ever experienced before.  The claps of thunder when above us feel like the World is breaking in two.  Andy is getting us prepared in case the river floods again.  We have moved everything in our tents up to the top shelves.  I keep a pair of wellies and my poncho by my bed at night in case we need to make a quick exit.

When the river flooded last time they hadn’t had any rain and the river was about a meter lower than it is now. It flooded because of rain further up stream. So we are on constant alert for further flooding.
