yea, most TV stations are reporting it as something like Warragamba Dam about to flood 1/2 the state

but ABC says
A leak in an irrigation dam which prompted evacuations and flood warnings in a southern Queensland town will probably have minimal impact to the area, engineers say

AMAZING VID!

The mighty Mitchell Falls/Punamii-Uunpuu, North Kimberley. Simply spectacular.

Another 80mm in the rain gauge the last few days. That's 897mm on the Mitchell Plateau since Nov 1st.

Feeling incredibly lucky to be living and working in the area and able to shoot and share some footage with Wunambal Gaambera Aboriginal Corporation and DBCA.

And so the weather  cycle of El Nina and La Nina cycles continue ..
No one in a hundred year weather events,  No unprecedented thises,  No Mother of all Super Cells or Mega storms thats .....
Just plain old Natural Earth weather cycles,  that some years are earlier or later,  warmer / cooler,  more intense, less than others or not ariving at all for years, As they have done ever since people started recording them .
Cant hardly wait to be Bombarded with  how the weather, how ever it arrives this year is Sensationalised and Bleeted about by the Media Experts and Climate of Doom Alarmists ...  Not !

Apparently Shitney got smashed


Several roads in northern Sydney are closed and some public transport services impacted on Monday morning due to ongoing rain, which has seen more than 100 millimetres fall in some suburbs over the weekend.

At 6.30am, the Wakehurst Parkway was closed in both directions from Oxford Falls to North Narrabeen, due to flooding, with motorists advised to instead use Pittwater Road and Warringah Road.

Also on the northern beaches, Oxford Falls Road remained closed in both directions between the Wakehurst Parkway and Aroona Road due to flooding.

In the north-west, Galston Road was closed in both directions due to a rockfall west of the bridge but the incident was cleared before 7.30am.

Manly Fast Ferry and F1 services were cancelled on Monday morning due to the weather conditions, with replacement bus services running betwen Manly at the city. Ferry services between Parramatta and Rydalmere were also cancelled and replaced with buses due to the weir overflowing.

Central Coast Line train services were delayed by up to 15 minutes after the heavy rain activated track safety monitors at Wondabyne

Meanwhile, Ausgrid crews restored power to people in South Turramurra, Turramurra and West Pymble on the upper north shore on Monday morning, while crews are continuing to work at Avalon Beach, Bilgola and Bilgola Plateau on the northern beaches.

The disruption comes as some areas of the city's upper north shore and northern beaches recorded more than 100 millimetres in rain over the past three days, as a low pressure system brought a wet end to a previously dry October.

At Wahroonga, about 115 millimetres of rain fell has fallen since showers began on Friday evening. Most of the rain came on Sunday, with 76 millimetres of rain falling between 9am on Sunday and 6.30am on Monday.

Nearby in Hornsby there were similar totals: the suburb saw 75 millimetres since 9am Sunday for a total of 112 millimetres over the course of the downpour.

On the northern beaches, there was 73 millimetres of rain at Terrey Hills since 9am Sunday and 112 millimetres recorded across the weekend.

Yep, it's really scary

"We have a chance to see between 15 and 35 millimetres of rainfall on the forecast, but if we do have a storm go over the top, we could potentially see as much as 70 millimetres if it was a big storm," said meteorologist Rosa Hoff.

Or then again, you could see 2/3 of 3/5 of 5/8 of SFA

Yea, how unusual! Storms in Queensland in October. Who would have thunk?
Oh, bucketed down here half an hour ago, from a naughty storm, to the tune of 15.6 mm. That makes a life threatening total of about 37 mm for the month, so far.

[Jeepers Creepers]

We got 46.5 yesterday and 82 in the last 7 days.

A few places yesterday got up to 70.

Everything went around us today, but to the south, Laidley has purple going over it..... so hail for sure.
