Yep. Rain most of the day and lots of wind straight off the snow fields.

My house flooded last week...turned into a river. I'm NOT HAPPY!~ Please no more. On the other hand, I drove home from Tamworth today...and it was absolutely pouring there when I left at 12 today. I hope they get it all!

Yep well its been pouring down here in soggy stockton for about an hour so id say we may be in for more flooding ....

Today while out in newcastle there were more tow trucks on the road carting soggy cars than i could count and theres still plenty of cars sitting on the sides of the road abbandoned .....

Stoped to get a part at a local auto elec supplyer seeing the houses oppsite with piles of soggy carpet and other household items piled in their front yards was an eary site and the auto elec shop had 2foot of water through it man they have lost some stock 15 pallets of gear got a unexpected wash ....

Worse part is theres still alot of water laying in low areas and this rain will only make things worse for those who have allready lost most of the household items to the first lot of water i just hope this lot of rain dosent fall like last weekend as i heard reports from people that some areas got upto 600mm of rain in like 48 hours can only pray it dont come down again like that here .....
