Well its still raining hard here this morning at 7am the rain gauge is overflowing again just from over night from yesterday morning to 7am today we have had 600mm and now its raining harder and be surprised if the rain gauge is overflowing again since I empty it 3 hours ago the gauge hold 170mm so far we have had just on 1000mm in the last 4 days and that just in my home town of Brisbane other areas have had even more, our 2 largest water catchment dams have gone from just under 50% to over flowing in 2 days, roads are closed from flooding, shopping centres are closing as no one is moving.
We have copped a lot of major floods in our history and 74 was the biggest but this time its look to be a lot worst in such a short time 4 days solid so far and now we being hit with a thunder storm and the rain is belting down even harder, our 2 major dams here hold more water than Sydney Harbor alone and for them to go from 50% to full in such a short time is a big worry for our low areas of Brisbane and surrounding areas, our last major flood was in 2011 and this one is even worst.
