Are you gonna buy the TAK Pondarosa......????

Just north of Gympie they had over 600 in 24 hours, Noosa has had over 400 from 9am yesterday to 9am today. There have been quite a number of places over 400mm in the past 36 hours.

Rainbow Beach (yep where that other boat is

) has hd 712 mm in the 24 hours of this map

Rainbow is the red dot to the north and west of Double Is Point north of Noosa

It has rained over the dams h0ughy, but nothing like it has been on the coast. Probably lucky to have had more than 20mm in the past 24, though they have probably had about 75 to 100 in the past 3-4 days. The northern catchment of Summerset Dam, which just happens to be in behind the Maleny area has had about 150mm in the past 24, so there should be some sort of top up in the next couple of days when the stream flow gets there

Probably, but I'm juggling a few funds at the moment. Had a few "unexpecteds" after I got back from Duckadang. You know rates, insurance, car maintenance...<Blah>

More accurate, water's at a premium here.

h0ughy (David) · #12 24-08-2007, 01:50 PM

wow I couldnt imagine 715mm of rain in 24hours. 220 in a day is my limit!!!. 1 positive is that it gets to clean the crud and smoke from the atmosphere there.

check your self mate - metric is a world wide adopted standard

and I agree with RB

600mm; that's serious rain. Must have been caused by the intense vacuum left when h0ughy departed Duckadang...

Aha!!!

see you thought "TAK"

then the Utility mongers got wind and decided to gang up on you

[1ponders] (Paul) · #16 24-08-2007, 01:56 PM

At a great rate of knots.

Ingo there is a very good reason to use metric. We used to use imperial inches but metric makes more sense. If you take 1 litre of water in pour it into a dish that is 1 meter square the water will be 1mm deep. So when someone says we have had 25mm of rainfall then it is much easier to envisage how much water has actually fallen. Even though I grew up with the inches measurement I'm still not sure exactly what it means.

Ingo · #19 24-08-2007, 02:06 PM

So this is why it's been pretty boring around the image sections? I should probably hurry up & post some pictures then, it's clear here.

astroron (Ron) · #20 24-08-2007, 02:30 PM

I'm flooded in here, 130mm since 09:00 yesterday.

Chinaman creek is three quarters of a meter over the crossing, Mary river Bridge at Cambroon was 1metre under water at 05:00 this morning, had gone down to be lapping the top of the bridge at 09:30 .

As I carn't get out I don't know the situation at this moment
