Here on the south side of Rocky we got 180mm or 6" of rain over 2 hours. The river is in flood for second time in 3 weeks. Just getting all that water that fell at the back of Mackay. Before the storm last night the river was at 7.65m and steady. The storm pushed it up to 8.1m for a few hours. I live just off the top of a hill and the our street runs down the hill. I got up in the middle of the storm and went outside to have a look. There would have been 25mm or 1" of water from gutter to gutter running down our street. It made going to work on the motorbike at 5am this morning interesting with all the flooding. But like you Phil I haven't done any obsevering since Xmas when I was up at Stanage Bay.
