Aberdeen Blessed With A Rainstorm

Aberdeen was blessed with a much needed rainstorm on Thursday 14 January 2010. The town received 35 millimeters of rain in about the same amount of time. Wonderful for the thirsty soil and plants of Aberdeen as well as for the filling of all the water tanks and dams in the area. Even the Kraai River was flowing again and it was bliss for the children in the water all over the town. Enjoy the images as much as our town enjoyed the rain...
