Thanks for posting jjj. Hope you are staying dry!

Thankfully it looks like clearing at the moment. Absolutely phenomenal amount of water coming down the Stanley River at the moment into Brisbanes main dams which are currently at well over 100% capacity.

We banged the Wii a few times, shook it upside down, and it's working again for now.
Sanity prevails.
Though the mother has a moderate case of cabin fever.

Been hearing reports on the radio down here, I can't imagine 200 mm of rain in one day, let alone 400.

Hope rain stops for you all.

Stay safe.

I remember when I lived in Kingaroy only a few years ago and Wivenhoe was only around 15%. The country was dry and where I used to work, they were shutting down the generators at Tarong due to lack of water.

Well well look at it now. I know that bridge well as I used to travel at least 2 to 3 times a week across it in Kilcoy. I'm assuming Wivenhoe is fast approaching 100%?

Take care jjj and send some of that rain over to WA for us please - we really need it.

Darrin...

We are OK the storm skirted around us, but looked pretty bad there for awhile.
