Huge thunderstorms coming SEQ

Here we go again, time to batten down the hatches and unplug the computers.
The thunder is making my house shake. :scared:

My son (in grade 1) made a rain gauge as a school science experiment yesterday, and put it in the garden yesterday afternoon. It recorded 115mm in 5 hrs overnight!

Our "official" rain gauge recorded about 96mm overnight, and 248mm over the last week! No damage for us though.

Cheers,
Stephen

We had some heavy rain and lightning/thunder through the night. One or two loud and close lightning strikes. But everything looks ok this morning :thumbsup:

"Gatton had 164 millimetres, then at Glenawe they got 171, the highest one is at Tallegalla that had 243 millimetres - just south of that Rosewood had 208 millimetres," he said.


"The heavy rain really occurred in a period of about two to three hours."






Ten inches (in the "old money") over three hours :scared: That's rain!

We had a fair bit of rain here.
I had to negotiate flowing causeways to get the kids to school this morning, and detour a flooded creek to get to town.
Took some photos of the bridge in town, and the creek is still rising. It will be a few more hours before it starts to go down.
With luck I won't be able to get to work this afternoon.:thumbsup:

what is the water level normally like JJJ

[jjjnettie]

The creek is up a couple of metres I guess. Can't say exactly how much.

A quiet conscience sleeps through thunder :)
