AFTER a brief dry spell, the heavens opened with a vengeance across the South West on Sunday, with rainfall of up to 57 millimetres in just a few hours, recorded at locations around the South West and causing damage to buildings.

The Casterton Pharmacy team had a rude shock turning up for work on Monday, finding 15 panels of the store’s floating ceiling collapsed under the weight of water and damage to stock, shop fittings and displays.
