108mm for us for the week. The sun finally came back today.

Sunshine Coast copped it bad, flooding and Friday night an average 300mm dumped in 24hours with a maximum recorded in the hinterland of 700mm.


However our catchment dams missed out again! So far our storage capacity has gone from 16% to 17% which is unbeliveable and shows the poor postioning of the dams in relation to where it rain a lot more. It has been years since I had a week off work due to rain, to see a weeks worth of steady rain do bugger all to the dams has pissed a lot of people off.

The largest dam, Wivenhoe, is out west a bit and seems to miss out a lot. However here's a pick of it flooding when they were trying to build it
