Good news. Funny enough it hasn't really rained that heavy in Brisbane in the last few days. Unfortunately though, I think I heard the Wivenhoe catchment had another bucketfull today :(

People at Grantham just explained the horror they went through...OMG!!

Oh Christ, don't do the radar maaaaan, before you know it you'll be checking the tide times and who knows where that can lead?
