A thread about rain and no other things

that cell moving east was fun

Wet stuff sweeping through, although it seems patchy.

345mm here since yesterday afternoon! The creek below is now a river but fortunately still
below us. Still raining, lots of road closures but not threatened and better off than many.

What is this rain thing you speak about? Dry as a bone is old Melbourne.

Been drizzling since about midnight in East Gippsland (against the BOM forecast of no rain when I went to bed!).

Just a bit of rain in Brisbane (24 hours to 9am)

Yrs there’s very few traffic lights operating on the GC around Broadbeach to Miami. Trees down blocking many roads.

An example at Miami opposite the popular Piccolo Espresso Cafe opposite the beach. Very sad to see these beautiful established trees come down. Many others have bent over along the coast and likely will need to be removed also.

We were very lucky to dodge the wind. Very sad to see beautiful old trees down.
Stay safe….still raining steadily up here.

Good steady rain in the South East. Lovely.

Yep, finally. This is much needed.

Corellas, which really aren’t that huge a feature here, have just gone nucking futs.

Is this a rain thing?

If you see Tippi Hedren, run…

Yes.

As someone who relies purely on tank water and has had to purchase it three times this summer, we’ve already had an estimated 400 dollars worth of rain fall from the sky today.

Thank you Mother Nature. You glorious woman you…

Had a wet n wild drive from Croydon to Paynesville today.
Hit a massive patch of water on the freeway just past Moe. Aquaplaning at just over 100kph isn’t as fun as it sounds!
Also anticipating I’ll lose power at some point with the winds. Absolute howler atm.

This rain has turned my daughter’s bedroom into a swimming pool. Now I need to get up on the 2-storey roof to see if the gutter is blocked. FFS.

As someone who has bailed out a room before, you have my condolences.
That really sucks.
