It's been raining on and off for a few days up here.
Apparently it'll be raining with possible storms for another week.

It reminds me of the monsoon season we experienced 50 years ago.

Families stranded on rooftops as flood carnage devastates Queensland and northern NSW communities (7 News)

Quote:

Eight people have died and up to three people are missing in Queensland’s “fast and furious” floods, which have damaged thousands of homes and businesses after one year’s worth of rain fell on parts of the south east.

There is major flooding on the Brisbane, Bremer, Lockyer, Logan and Albert, Mary, North Pine, Noosa and Maroochy rivers.

Thousands of homes are without power and all schools in the state’s south east were closed on Monday.

Over the border in northeast NSW, residents in Lismore have been evacuated as “catastrophic flooding” impacts the area.

A whole week of rain this week.
This was typical weather when I was 15 years old.

I feel really bad for the folks in SE Qld and northern NSW, there's some really sad scenes on the news with people being rescued from their house roofs.
It's hammering down in the harbour city as I write this and tomorrow is expected to be much worse with strong winds.

I try not to think about it.
How much of this disaster is the result of building in flood zones?

I'm still in one piece so far, MaxE.
Currently sitting out the supercell with fingers crossed for an end to this Armageddon.

Apologies for p***ing on your parade Pepe, but personally I'm not celebrating torrential rainfall and flooding and the loss of several lives (including a non-verbal autistic man and his mother in Sydney )

Climate change effects in Australia encompass both more extreme droughts and more extreme floods. This type of extreme rain event is not a good thing any more than drought is.

Where I am right now we're out of the floods but we're in a heatwave with record-breaking temperatures and it's not fun.
