But this morning, it has become heavier and heavier. It's 2.30pm now, and after a slight easing and lightening of the sky, it seems to have just re-started with renewed intensity. (Mind you, weather radar indicates it has stopped for a few hours north of the city.)
Rainfall totals around here for the last 24 hours are going to be phenomenal.
UPDATE: Well, glad that's over. It's Thursday morning, the sun is (nearly) out and rain has stopped after another solid drenching last night.
The good thing about it: if your house didn't get water inside during that event, it never will. (Save for wind blowing the roof off, of course.) Many parts of Brisbane had 200 - 300 mm of rain over 24 - 48 hours:
(Remember, this only shows one 24 hour period to this morning.)
Dam levels are up to 72% (yay) after being down to about 16% a couple of years ago.
My house is OK, except the phone is cut. Water in a Telstra pit somewhere, no doubt.
Someone who works at my office is an hour late to work, stuck in traffic somewhere. (A lot of roads are still cut this morning.) I think she's also had no power at home since yesterday afternoon.
Anyhow, work will be busy, I can't get onto the internet at home. Blogging will be light for a little while.
