Rare MMDown Under Posted February 9, 2020 #1 ย Share Posted February 9, 2020 (edited) Torrential rain has caused local flooding in Sydney and Brisbane. ย The dams, which were low level, are now filling with water. ย ย The rain is widespread along the East Coast, with more rain predicted. ย Now we are looking for flooding warnings in lieu of fire warnings. ย ย No doubt the SES has been run off their feet, with heavy demand. ย An Australian summer - fires, drought and floods. ย However, everyone is happy to see rain at long last.ย ย Keep safe everyone. ย Don't drive through floodwater. ย "If it is flooded, forget it!"

I have only been sea sick twice in my life and one was on a Manly Ferry cruise to Palm Beach. Edited February 9, 2020 by MMDown Under Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone on another thread mentioned six metre seas off Sydney yesterday or the day before that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare MicCanberra Posted February 10, 2020 #10 ย Share Posted February 10, 2020 Wet rain is so much better than the dehydrated rain, that stuff falls as dust and you need to add tap water to make it into plant drink. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
