LOL, you can hear them all over town when it stops raining.

better not be too much down here (nsw qld border) i have a game of golf on tomorrow morning...

no offence meant buddy, but surely a some decent rainfall for you guys down there is a little more important than golf..... from what we hear up here you guys are in a serious drought......

It's not that bad, it's just that the rain dosen't fall where it is needed due to bad planning of dam location many years ago.

I wouldnt go that far, as there arent that many options for damn placements... But thats another story. You say its not that bad, wait for level 5 next month Thats going to hurt a bit more than people may think.

not going to hurt as much as when we get down to 10% in not that far away.. There is only one way this graph is going..

No I meant that it isn't that bad as far as rainfall levels go. My grass is green and the weeds are going strong without any additional water. If I had a rainwater tank, I am sure that it would have overflowed plenty of times. Just when you go out west (Ipswich area) that you notice it.

raining here on northside.. sounds VERY loud too on the roof.. doesn't sound like hail yet though

[Spook's_Skyline]

its rained here pretty much every nite of the week this week (well, there was water on my back deck in the mornings anyway)

we did get a good thunderstorm about a month ago though.... best for years.....

my oldies are still back in cairns, cant believe dry its been up there

they loved the storm the other nite when the lions played the saints and it was a big bog

not like cairns to be dry . . ..

ha ha putting a dam on the largest catchment by far in our area is a heaps bad Idea

Well where has it got us? Why all this talk about puting a dam in the Gympie area?

Common sense states that you will always get more rainfall east of the hills (ie. Mt Glorious, Nebo). It's all well and good puting in in a big catchment area, but if that catchment area isn't going to provide much water in the future then it's not much use.

There are plenty of other options out there. Look at how much water goes into the storm water system and then out to sea. Rain water tanks should have been thought of by the government years ago, not just now.

[NFAA32]

well it ruined my golf game on wednesday, so surely it can give me one day of peace, oh and no rain sat so we can play cricket.. sunday to tuesday it can rain all it likes

[predator]

it's not a catchment if it doesn't catch any water now is it...

[SilverECR33]

i got caught in it. came down real hard too

[markimak]

GRR.. i got drenched i parked away.. outside way outside at hyperdome.. and late night shopped.. came back had to use an apron and run through ankle high water levels to get to the car!... it was pissing down.. heaviest ever!
