This is certainly making plans for our 6 week trip in Qld interesting considering we have already booked some places and we leave in 13 sleeps.

Regards

Just in time for Cyclone Nathan.  >:D >:D

Hot as hell here at the moment, good brewing weather (and i dont mean beer  ;D)

I created a giff of the rainfall intensity as it went over Brisbane/ where I work over a few hours

I might need this to explain things in my preparations digging sumps moving pumps and having spearfields prove to have been inadequate.

we have had plenty of rain, and the ground is saturated, so runoff was expected, but it was my job to limit to so that it didn't go past our boundaries. :cheers:
