    Looking at the radar, nah, it's just light stuff at the moment. We'll see what happens later this arvo. I'm hoping to catch a train to Melbourne to meet up with friends at a pub.
    Had some heavy rain go through at lunchtime, well, it started just as I wandered out to the supermarket to get some lunch. Gutters were flowing. That brought the back yard total for the day up to 9.5mm.
    It is now cooler and drier and the cloud is thinning, getting brighter.

    Well, it's very pleasant out.
    Patches of blue sky. Roads are dry.
    I think I'll mow the lawn.

    31 mm of rain so far and it is hammering down. The bush streams are picking up pace, depth and running coloured.

    The biggest falls are due tomorrow but there’s been plenty of rain the city and eastern burbs - only a couple of heavy showers here today.

    There are flood warnings out for quite a few places, and there’s a lot of roads closed from flooding at the moment - will be a slow run home for those that have to, I worked from home today, so the commute took 10 seconds - from the front room to the lounge room...

    The main front hits overnight, so see what we wake up to.

    I remember the floods we had here in December '74 and the ones in '84.
    Do you remeber the '34 event, Mr Marsh?

    Well most of the predicted impending doom bypassed Coburg at the least.
    Had one eye on the radar to see how it was all travelling, and noticed very heavy falls around the east.
    But apart from about half an hour of heavy falls, this rain event avoided me.
    Some drizzly periods here and there but that's about it.

    We got a whole other thread talking about the power stuff, and this is not what I started this thread for. No point having 2 threads about the same thing...

    What people have to understand is that you will have three days of rain, in some places torrential, in others not. Those inland will have the ground saturated by the third day, and river floods will occur. On the coast, the severity will depend highly on the tides. Watch your high tide times closely. Flood waters back up hugely with the high tide. Don't take this lightly, or you may be caught out.
    I’m pretty sure the dinosaurs died out when they stopped gathering food and started having meetings to discuss gathering food

    A bookshop is one of the only pieces of evidence we have that people are still thinking
