Just spoke with Ponders - he has had over 200mm rainfall in last 24h, he is flooded in and has no power - he is into the icecream and steaks before they go off! That new mount he has is a rain magnet
We have had over 160mm rain over 24hours, but the water has gone down quite a bit
the photo of the sign post shows how high the water got at its peak which was about midnight.
The picture of me shows what a well dressed "Water Reporter"
wears to bring you the news
My electronic weather station said we got 46,9mm ,but my glass vial registered 71mm
So, Ron, why do you think there was such a large discrepancy between your glass and electronic rain gauges? I was thinking of purchasing a weather station and want to know which brands are reliable at or below a price point of about $500. Any advice?
We had 8 inches of rain here yesterday,the Blackbutt Range (D'Agulair Hwy)
is closed due to mud slides,and I have been told may be for a few days.We lost power,just so much rain,it ran into everything.
Taromeo Creek is roaring (see image),lots of furniture/bedding and matresses floating past.The local saw mill has had the front fence ripped away by raging waters,I never thought living 430 m above sea level,on a mountain range,would be an issue as far as flooding waters go!
Heck Ron, we've been trying to outdo you all week down here. I've only just got power back this afternoon - off since Wed. Houses flooded from a dozen houses down the street onwards.
I really need to see some stars ......!
