Had enough rain yet?

[The ho har's]

400+ millimeters at our place and we aren't even in a cyclone. Logan river is up and due to flood. We are used to it has happened several times before. We will be isolated for a few days, I will take pic tomorrow or the next when the rain eases.

Mrs hh:angel:

[Eevo]

[weeds]

Nah......could do with a bit more.

Manage to go to a mate place and build fridge slide as I was asked not to come into work today.

[The ho har's]

It is a rain depression, after all. Don't go to live in the Territory, if you think that's a lot of rain.

[trog]

Wind us picking up a bit now. It will be interesting to see how things coped in the morning.

[ramblingboy42]

just checked my gauge....showed 120mm for the day but it was full so could have been more

I am sure the correct spelling for gauge is guage but my MacQuarie tells me different

Exactly the rain up there is much worse. Been in it many times. We still however have ex-cyclone Debbe to hit later tonight.

Mrs hh:angel:

[scarry]

Been hosing down here as well,good rain.

I can't believe all the businesses,etc that have shut down,many shut at midday today.

Seems ridiculous to me,half the shops are shut as well.

Little or no wind,still raining though.

Naah my Collins, Oxford and Websters all say the same spelling - gauge. But for rain gauge lets use the Spanish - pluviometro, it's easier to spell[smilebigeye]

[The ho har's]

Wind has picked considerably debris flying everywhere. We had a couple of trees fall down today, in the paddock, hopefully none on the house tonight.

Mrs hh:angel:

[Saitch]

It should be over in about 20-30 minutes.

It was thought there would be a huge deluge at around 3pm causing chaos on the roads and public transport.

[DiscoMick]

They say parts of Brissie had 250mm today with 500 at Springwood behind the GC. Winds of 120 kmh. Lots of flooding. 90,000 people without power. Has been very windy here this evening. Slack's Creek flooded.

telstra sent its office workers home today for safety reasons.

[The ho har's]

Stolen from a friend. Mount Lindsay Highway looking sth towards Jimboomba. I will venture out later to take some pics.

[DiscoMick]

And today the sun is shining. Lot of water lying around though.

[bob10]

Can't help thinking some of the media outlets went over the top on the weather approaching S.E. Qld, the way they carried on. Checking out the B.O.M. weather radar told a different story. The last remnant of Debbie had heavy rain, and a maximum wind speed of 43 knots, from the N.E., and was tracking slowly S.E. , it looked obvious the danger would be well gone before high tide. Just as well, all that rain and a 2.4 metre high tide might have been interesting. Still, small consolation for those facing river flooding today. I still have memories of the 1956 floods in Central Qld., stuck in a house on a sheep station, surrounded by water, no food. Survived on damper, while dad took the horse & pack horse to the main house, crossing a couple of creeks, and a river, to get supplies. He turned around and came straight back, nearly lost the pack horse in the river, and was totally exhausted at the end. Must have been some ride. Meantime Mum & I kept ourselves busy sweeping brown snakes off the verandah, & stopping the working dogs eating the litter of kittens, just born. The good old days, didn't see any media, or politicians , back then.

The rellies are flooded in at Lismore and say the water has hit a record level. The levee was topped for the first time. Aerial pics look impressive.

Cunningham highway was cut for a few hours outside Warwick, and the Killarney and Toowoomba roads were cut as well. Council was talking about shutting the main bridge about midday, but the water started dropping about 10;30 am. Cunninghams Gap had a couple of landslips overnight, and the water was over at Warrill View this arvo.
Hope everyone is ok down over the border - sounds pretty bad in Lismore and surrounds.

Know what happens when you assume? you make an ass out of you and I. I have taken my TD5 through deeper water than that, but at a slower speed. That is Toyota speed, thoughtless.

The Gold Coast and Northern NSW copped it. Two deaths in NSW so far, sadly.

NSW: Lismore told to evacuate, Murwillumbah residents on roofs (http://thenewdaily.com.au/weather/2017/03/31/nsw-floods/)

[DiscoMick]

Rellies have been flooded in at Lismore since Wednesday and can't attend the 4WD Outdoors Show with us in Brisbane today.

[Vern]

Anyone know how to get from the gold coast to mid nsw coast?? Have friends trying to get down today

[ramblingboy42]

It would be very interesting to see whats floating in Moreton bay today.

The reports we received all day yesterday of various boats, houseboats, moorings with boats still attached , jetties, fridges, wheelybins etc drifting out of the Logan River were amazing.

If you are going out on the waters in your boat today.....beautiful weather for it.....be very aware of floating and half submerged objects.

[The ho har's]

Waterford Tamborine Road both directions. Waterford Bridge. Our driveway on Thursday

[incisor]

That why that bridge is there [emoji3]

[The ho har's]

Photos taken this afternoon

Waterford- Tamborine Rd looking nth The sign in the distance was all out of the water when pic was last taken. 2nd looking sth

[scarry]

Thats probably the highest i have seen it at the Waterford bridge for a long time.

We lived for many years just around the corner from it,the old bridge was there when we first lived in that area.

In fact in the '74 floods,a house was washed up against that bridge causing the water to cut the corner and create Tygum lagoon.

The main issue seems to be, in many areas due to development there is way more run off,and the watercourses have been changed by the developers.

The levels of the '74 floods are not really relevant in many areas any more.These days there can be less rain,but more flooding.

Remembering in '74, Brisbane and the Brisbane valley had around 700mm of rain in 36 hours,and the area was already soaked from torrential downpours during the 3 weeks prior.

[V8Ian]

Pacific Highway should be open.

It is now.

Well, we know where it will end up. On the beach at Sandgate. After the big one I volunteered along with just about the rest of Brisbane to help clean up. Drove to boondall , got on the bus, thinking we were going up river somewhere, ended up at the beachfront at Brighton. What a mess. Tons and tons of peoples memories, laying on the beach. I found a real estate sign from Ipswich which would have hung on a fence of a house being sold , on the beach. Boats, you say? I wonder if salvage rights apply?.

[DiscoMick]

How the weather changes. After months of high humidity, peaking with cyclone Debbie, tonight in Maleny it's cool enough to light the fire.

[DiscoMick]

So I broke out a bottle of The Wise One port - seemed like a good idea.

Tomki Tatham Rd.

This bridge is usually 15-20 feet above a dry creek bed. That is grass and weed that has been deposited on the roadway.

[DiscoMick]

Thanks. Lismore flood is just amazing.

[V8Ian]

15,000 tonnes of flood rubbish in Lismore alone.

[DiscoMick]

I liked the story about the cow that survived three days in the river before it clambered out on a boat ramp 70 km downstream at Ballina.
