Flooded in here, with rain still pelting down. At this stage it is not possible to predict the flood peak because of uncertainty over how much more rain will fall, but heavier downpours are expected today.
My house is safe but probably a couple of days before I can get out again.

I'm enjoying a large cold front, served with a side of residual snow. Though hopefully it'll be 50 (10 c) Wednesday....... then back to freezing misery.

Stay Safe Aquarian...I have just seen the the eye of this 'cylone' (That isn't a cyclone because it is too far south to be called a cyclone) has just crossed the border so the worst for you is yet to come. The bottom edge of the system is just passing through Sydney and well on its way to Goulburn, so mum, don't get complacent just yet, worse to come.
We hade the worst of it this morning. Just in the 5 minute drive to work I dodged at least a couple of dozen trees over the road and the river was about 30cm from bursting it's bank 3 hours shy of the 2.5m high tide so we have a bit over water over the road.
Most parts of the Gold Coast lost their power about 11pm last night and won't have power again until midday Wednesday. My work went out at 11pm last night, my home went out about 7am. Work is still without power, but home had the power put on within 5 hrs.
There are serveral buildings without a roof, radio and TV towers have been blown over and about 200m south of my work a Tornado srtuck around lunch time and threw and empty bus 100 metres across the road, the only thing that stopped it going further is the house that it smashed into.
Just been sent home from work and catching up on the news now.
