Bring on the Rain, and bring on the Thunder

As rain and thunderstorms had been forecast for today I was thinking of how I could collect the water that flows from the bungalow roof. I wanted to save the water for our vegie patch on the hotter days.
Here's what I came up with:

Our green garbage bin seemed like the right size until it started to overflow after 30 mins of rain! I shut the lid and collected some more in a red bucket.

Methinks I need to buy a tank... and possibly a new pipe for that leak! Oh and gumboots
