I've been told not to throw the cat out tonight

All the more reason to chuck it out!

This is what it looked like in parts of my town this afternoon.
It is about 50cms higher now than in this photo as per the town gauge.

Doing this from Forumrunner so if the photo doesn't work blame it.

Amazing!

When SWMBO went out earlier during a break in the rain, she was saying that the local creeks were looking very high.

Hope no-one's affected. Stay dry all.

SWMBO was right, Bob The site to check is www.bom.gov.au/qld/flood It has been pouring all night here.

It's happened before, she married me!

Not looking so bleak for Logan/Albert at the moment, all below minor flood levels and steady or dropping upstream from us.

Unfortunately not down here, we might pick up a bit over the next few days which would be good but we'll have to wait and see.

The BOM didn't give flood warning for Woolloongabba. People were rescued by boat from the Russian Hall in Lotus Street.
