Yesterday between 3pm and 5pm we got hammered.
I'll put some pics up soon however my rain guage recorded 145mm in that period.
I was running around with an umbrella and shovel trying to help water get away.
Had to pump the pool to as it was about to overflow, had the pump running for 1.5hours straight to waste to keep the pool level.
It was like a river down the side of the house, water came fromt he higher neighbours side over our retaining wall and down the side of our house.
I'll be building that wall higher now so he can flood his own yard ... and tree he's got there.
A fair bit of the rain lately has made it into the dams, the total for Brisbane is now up to 33% and for a long time wivenhoe dam which is the biggest has creeped up to 20% capacity, it was down around 13% from memory with fish dying!
SEQWater - Current Dam Levels
I think there'll be a little run off and over the next few days the levels might go up another percent or two.
Restrictions haven't been eased nor do I think they should, frankly using town water to water the garden is just nuts.
