Gc where I am 7 km from beaches

Just like a mild windy rainy day in Hillsborough Onehunga where I lived once upon a time
Tonight and tomorrow may or will be a different story

Yep definitely looks like cyclone weather here.
I bet it's the carm before the storm.

Higgins reckons you guys are getting it now up in QLD. Stay safe. Hosing down here with about 600mm since Tuesday. Flooding all the way down to Taree and Old Bar in NSW with varying degrees of hideousness.

Yep it's gone over Bribie Island but down here in south Brisbane we have bugger all wind, the rain has started though
Stay safe everyone who knows what's to come

Pretty much a nothingburger over this side of the city. Few wind gusts, bit of rain. Had worse weather multiple times in the last year..

On the gc
High winds overnight
Shallow rooted trees blown over
Three days of rainy windy Wellington or even Auck weather worse than this
A baby cyclone?

 

[wizard of Tauranga]

Downgraded to a tropical low now. Still sounds pretty wild though.

Hopefully everyone’s ok.

We had a big flood in 2011 but our most recent was 2022
Between February 23 and 28, the Brisbane area received 400–1100 mm of rain
The Brisbane River peaked at 3.85 meters at the Brisbane City Gauge on February 28
The flood affected more suburbs and properties than the 2011 flood

where abouts are you mate ?

Just heard from a friend in Broadbeach who said he is OK.
Loud winds and lots of rain overnight but still has power and internet

Good.

Sounds like a great description of our round one Vegas performance

"Nothingburger"

I get the preparations but shutting down for a week might have been a bit excessive

 

[run_it_str8_again]

Thankfully it appears QLD don't get the cyclone in its fullest ferocity.

At the same time the southern section of it has inundated a whole bunch of NE NSW. The winds haven't been as fierce but the rain has accumulated since Tuesday and it's going to take time to recover from the flooding around a whole bunch of low lying areas .....again.

There was no real way to accurately pick it to cross when it did and at the intensity it eventually did. Over prepped for sure bro. Better safe than sorry etc

Are you able to re open early?

Yeah we're good. Was talking about the city in general.

Springwood area

That’s what I said earlier
Mind you

The rain capital
Of
The world
