I picked the following up from the aussie.weather list
---------------- In the hour 7 to 8am EST, the heavy rainband running SSW along itself and SSW from Mt Glorious gave 57mm at Mt Glorious, 85 at Savages Crossing (near Ferndale, just downstream of Wivenhoe Dam), 66 at Marburg (where the old radar is) and 54 at Tallegalla - all in a straight line NNE to SSW from Mt Glorious. Rain in that line, which contains several embedded thunderstorms, extends from Maroochydore to Warwick, and because it is running along itself will continue to produce heavy totals. Mt Glorious Alert has had 191mm in the 23 hours to 8am on top of 203mm to 9am yesterday. ---------------- The various sites referred to are in the hills just inland from Brisbane. Hardly suprising that there is now serious flooding. It puts the "heavy" rain episodes in this country into perspective. -- Norman Lynagh Tideswell, Derbyshire 303m a.s.l. |

![]() "Norman" wrote in message ... What is amazing is that Toowoomba is right on the crest of the Great Dividing Range at about 2000 feet above sea level. I think it is just on the east side of the E/W watershed. There's no river of any significance there and I would have thought that it is a most unlikely place to experience a significant flood. The flood must have resulted from a huge rainfall total in a very short period of time. At the end of the video when the flood had subsided you could see that the river was indeed rather insignificant. It looked much like a Boscastle style flash-flood with cars being swept away rather than huge areas of innundation, as appears to being experienced elsewhere in the area. -- Col Bolton, Lancashire 160m asl |
