It has rained for the last three weekends. Not solid rain, but drizzle and occasional thunderstorms. We had the threat of Brisbane flooding last Monday and Tuesday, but what happened was very local indeed. Our dams have a combined total of 84% (Monday edit - now 94%) and climbing. Two dams have been letting water escape for days now.
Out west, a vast area - larger than France - is under water or threatened with flooding. St George (near where I used to teach - Dirranbandi) broke an 1890 record yesterday for the highest flood ever recorded, and this water is like an inland sea - not very deep, but everywhere, from horizon to horizon. It is going to have incredibly good results in the future once it has fallen, but I remember it back in 1974 as hanging around for weeks.
