Thread: Rain

Just started to rain here John, but don't expect to get much. A number of severe storms have moved/are moving through Ipswich and Brisbane with occasional heavy falls. Some places are copping it and others not.

may be time to get the mower working, we have had a heap overnight with more coming.
Past 2 days 4 inches via my guages.
I know the north coast is a bit far from you but, i think the state forcast is for rain round your way.

They keep forecasting that the next event will be the one with rain in it - and this has been the case for the last four months - we get rain OK: 0.5, 1.5, 4, 2.5, 0.5, 8, 0.5, 5.5, 0.5, 4.5, 0.5, 10mm - that is all our registrations for the last four months, during which time there was going to be "significant rainfall" at least half a dozen times. I'm afraid that I have to conclude that the forecasters are optimists.

Hello John,i got those two storms here to,the lightning show was unreal!.but i only got 1.50mm out of both of them.i have two dry dams and only one with good water in it,but everyone else around here is in the same boat.its hard to take when you see these huge black clouds overhead,but they dont want to let the water go.but all you can do is.

We had 50mm over the weekend. October monthly average already exceeded. Hope some gets to the mid north of WA and the East coast.
