Thanks for the pics Snappy. Truly scary powers of nature.

Flooding in north Qld is continuing at a horrendous pace:
"Most reports (all rainfall figures are unofficial) from around the Mackay township overnight were just over the 300 millimetre mark."

It has actually stopped raining here today although we still have stormy looking skies. It is a shame as the farmers up here need a break after losing their crops last year

We're having a jolly old good start to the wet this year and already pundits are saying this is the best we've had in over 6 years (FNQ has been in drought mode over the past few years - FNQ standards, that is...), ebbs and flows with El Nino (coupled with the watchword of the day: 'Global warming'). The time when Cairns does not get a wet season is never going to happen - not in ours or our grandchildrens lifetimes - it's impossible to live in the tropics and not have monsoonal weather at some point in the year...however ferocious or mild that may be.
