'burra near Aplins

Hahah what burb you in pm?

My old street always went under and I'd go out and swim with other kids. New place is bone dry even during the biggest rain events. Good drainage = doubled-edged sword farkken.

Gonna have to keep a close eye on this. Innisfail doesn't seem too bad but I still know lots of people in the Mackay/Townsville/Ingham regions.

Haha nah I'm near a massive storm channel drain so it handles most of the rain :D

They've got some heavy rain coming in up in Port Headland as well.

Are you on stilts bro?

Had 300+mil of rain at home in under 24 hours =/

Just to back my point up, (and sorry to hijack the thread of sorts) this is GFS accumulated precip for Sydney for the next 7 days.



I've never seen anything like it before, but I guarantee on the next run it will be nothing like that. At least I hope not!

EDIT: It's actually like this up and down almost the entire eastern seaboard!

Not sure what model he's basing his stuff off (looks like GFS but not sure), but in my experience the models tend to overestimate big events like these. At least that's what i've found in NSW during El Nino.

Can't say I follow QLD weather though, but damn that is a lot of water.

Hopefully the monsoon season starting can finally channel some moisture down into NSW and Vic. I hate El Nino :x

*insert global warming argument here*

Yeah he used a couple of good ones haha, crashing, smashing, whacking, nailing etc lol

Only had decent rain overnight, real shit starts today/tomorrow.

Highways already flooded to the North, South to follow tonight.

Such an Aussie. :lol: "Western Peninsula is going to get nailed". :lol:.

I'm heading up that way for 10 days in February. Hopefully no cyclones then.

I love the way he uses meteorological terms as well as words like 'whacking' :lol:

I know some of these words.
