Had enough rain yet?

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.
