Thread: Rain, and lots of it. Mackay, Townsville, Moranbah, Rocky. to cop it.

Brissie to get 50mm-75mm! We can get that in a storm of 20 minutes duration. The media is going to have a field day with this " Significant Rain Event."

I remember the last " rain event " we had. It coincided with high tide, May 1.a year or two ago. Thigh deep water flowing in at high tide, out as the tide went out. I will be heeding the warning, and preparing. If it doesn't happen, that's a bonus.

Well, I hope that doesn't occur for you Bob. I must say I have seen the drains along the foreshore in your area struggling with discharge on an incoming tide in a big wet. I nearly lost a rather expensive piece of equipment as a result. My then employer would not have been amused.
Stay dry.

Thanks, Steve. Must admit, I've been watching the weather radar, and at this point in time, it looks as though the system is heading off shore fairly quickly. If no other system influences it, a bit of rain is all we should get. The Big Fella up top must have only just opened up his summer E-mails, when we were all praying for rain. Still, no one is perfect [ except perhaps Ealsie] .

I better bring in the washing and stock up the port supply.

where is this rain? due wednesday.....

Yep, a significant rain event alright, I almost got damp strolling from the shed to the verandah.

Been raining here near Gympie all day.
Peoples day at the Gympie show, poor buggers it will be a washout . Hope it fines up for them tomorrow.
