I'll have to put the radio on Storm, just sent a message to a friend in town who was in the flooded area yesterday and am waiting for a reply.

Another 183mm yesterday, 41mm to 4pm with the remainder overnight.

Our total for the month is almost 600mm, well and truly above the average already. Weather gods, please leave Cardwell alone !!!!!!!!

Yeah you all need a break, send it up our way we are happy to help...radar only shows light rain around, maybe there is no SE surge anymore and just a monsoon trough to our south??

Um sorry but can i PM someone with a nylex rain gauge i think im doing something wrong...anyone know much ?

Looks like Bilyana scored well over 200mm overnight, but the alert appears to be broken. Upper Murray just West of the Bilyana alert is over 200mm, Bilyana usually beats it by a fair margin.

Morning Everyone - just dropping our total for rain 6am yesterday to 6am this morning - a whopping great 17mm...ho hum...heavy sigh

Disregard my last sorry...great totals RD

Just saw this in the CS thread:



Would definitely want that to stay away from the coast, it looks like it'd hit in exactly the same spot as Yasi. Of course, loongg way out and only 1 models opinion.

well some great totals from the south .. feel for you guys down there still under tarps.

Only 48mm up here

maybe this arvo will be our turn .

cheers

Final total for the 24 hours is 203mm, making it 542mm since 4pm Sunday.

Still raining.

159mm for us here for the past 24hrs and a bit of sunshine poking thru.

So sorry for cardwell, hope the weather gods do indeed leave u alone. Looks to be clearing here, the media in Cairns this am is funny, don't they read the BOM advice that the rain is SOUTH of here !!

43mm for Smithfield for the 24hrs since 9.00am. The hill where we live is absolutley sodden still and water pouring down the driveway into the gutter. I'm recalibrating the forcefield around Cairns to protect Cardwell and the likes - I mean seriously, enough is enough for you guys!!!!

64mm in Innisfail for 24 hours. Poor hubby got home at 7.30 this morning drenched and exhausted after standing in the rain at Kennedy for 12 hours with a road closed sign. Hoping the water levels drop so he doesn't have to go back out tonight.

well the radar is filling in nicely
and GFS has the rain for tonight back up over Cairns and inland around Georgetown and it looks to be building in these areas now .


cheers

Definatly wont get exited after the last two nights

I was going to reply in the CS thread but its OT so I've copyd it over here..


So do these guys talk to the guys that draw the "Latest" weather chart ??

It seems like most of this week the charts have been way off with what is actually happening..

cheers

Just started raining heavy here north of Mossman. Danitree you must be just about getting it too.

Oops spelling error. I meant Daintree.

Looks like he will be out again! It hasn't stopped raining all day and we've had another 51mm since 9am.

Still no sign of it letting up.

Just about ,lol A lite shower now nothing ..
