Severe weather warning for Australia's east coast as monster storm approaches ninemsn  By ninemsn Wild weather over Brisbane.

Let us know by sending an email to newstips@ninemsn.com.au The BOM forecaster said the heavy rainfall was expected to increase by Sunday as the system travelled south.

"We are going to see rainfall increase right across the east tomorrow morning." Southeast Queensland residents are also in for some wild weather on Saturday, but forecasters say it might not be as bad as initially feared. A strong upper trough is moving faster than expected, meaning reduced chances of flash flooding.

Record the wind speed from willy weather and get back to us.

LOL

250 mm is not uncommon in a day here.
the prediction for SE Qld is 30 to 85mm.

just enough to settle the dust  ;)

Yeah and BoM have been known to "massage" wind speed.

We're expecting 80+ mm tomorrow and maybe 40 or so Sunday.... about time.... might settle the wood smoke a bit..... in the middle of renovations and got stuff stacked everywhere... be out checking in the morning.  So far no wind or rain, only cloud.

Same here.  Unless all Hell breaks loose tonight/tomorrow........it's a fizzer.  Still, they did say that Saturday was the day.

We are supposed to be getting heavy rain for a while tomorrow, seeing that the forecasts are rarely wrong these days. After Monday, we should expect the first real cold of winter. Every year, we get showers at the start of winter, and then the cold air starts chilling our bones for the next month or so.

Gordy, I know you do it to piss off Aussie but you should stop because he cannot answer you on an equal footing, you haven't told us of your other half and they should not be brought into a discussion as a weapon against words anyway.

Rain is getting heavier in bursts with the same constant rain as a background.

I mentioned it in a general way without knowing his living arrangements, as is my right to have an opinion on such things.

Mr Aussie piped up and took it as a DIRECT insult to his living arrangements, accused me of being a troll from his past and immortalized my comment in his signature.

Had he approached it in a different way I'd have said sorry dude, I'm sure the subject of your particular living arrangements is perfectly lovely, no direct offense intended.

Bit of heavy rain through the night

no strong winds as yet

I think the weather bureau are becoming panic merchants

BOM guy on the radio downgraded winds by 20 knots

For we who live in Sydney, it's all bullshit of course.

Sydneysiders know from long experience that any storm worth its salt ALWAYS comes as a surprise to everybody - including the boys down at the Met office.

If they tell you a 'big storm' is on its way - then you can be sure it will be a fizzer.

Guaranteed.

The rest of Australia is praying for a storm that will wipe the east coast clean.

Um, Texuus doesn't count. GAWD hates Texuus.

That's not a bad app., Redneck - but I have one that's even more accurate than the professional forecasters.

"What is it?" you ask.

Snails.

Snails climbing up the neighbours' wall.  They know DAYS in advance of the multi-million dollar Met Department that a 'Big Wet' is coming - and they tell you how much to expect by how high they position themselves up the wall.

Never fails.

The snails can feel it in their bones.  8-)

Another strange thing Herb is the way crickets suddenly appear after rain. It can be dry for three months then one day of rain and suddenly crickets are chirping in the garden.

I've been to this spot when waves splashes were making it higher than the cliffs.

See if the winds and swell increase tomorrow.

virtually no rain since 9 am

Monster storm?

Hah!

On-and-off light rain and light to moderate wind here.

Real storms come out of the blue as a complete surprise in Sydney.

If it had stayed onshore it'd be a whole lot worse. We are drenched, the whole yard and under the house had 6 inches of water. If you look at the river height plotting I posted on the previous page, it will rise for another 12 hours without more rain.  They called it, it was an ocean in the sky spreading downpours over thousands of miles. It could have been as bad as they predicted with different winds.

Yeas.  Agreed.  BOM is learning that it is best to maximise (and act......I am referring to dams) than minimise.

I wonder how they are going a bit further south. Check the Grafton radar on the previous page. It's still raining here, just not torrential as it has been most of the day.

All we had up here (despite all the doom and gloom) was a downpour over a couple of hours.

Still....I'd rather they alarm me than tell me all is well.

Our levee is 10.2 metres with a 10.1 early overflow to try and direct the water through a less built part of town, through car parks.. I think we're safe though. 7.8 metres is my guess.

More reasonably heavy and steady rain... It may not be over yet.

Had a fair shower and then rain in Rockhampton. Must have been up to 40mm of rain last night, and it was good to soak the ground a last time before we get that cold, dry weather expected of June and parts of July.

Hope the farmers got a good soaking.

It's always the ants for me. The start gathering in massive numbers, and they look for a good place to hide. It is usually a couple days in advance of the rain.

That's true. I used to get these tiny little ants trooping into the kitchen and setting up camp around the sink, but I haven't seen them for years now.

Cods. Do you believe it? The "whole" world has never been covered by water. Yes the Himalayas were once at the bottom of the ocean but that does not mean the world was covered with water.

That Kangaroos, echidnas and platypus swam to the middle east to be rescued then swam back.

Of course people get scared when faced with imminent death and grasp at fairy tales of salvation.  Doesn't make them true.

Incidentally, all that flooding in suburban areas wasn't the fault of the sustained downpour but was entirely because of inadequate drainage systems and very poor maintenance practices.

Dead animals, branches, discarded plastic bottles, and MacDonald's take-away packaging, etc create blockages and serious narrowing of the underground piping because these are left unattended by council workers until flooding occurs.

I should have posted Really Captain Obvious.

My bad.

Also there are multi factorial reasons for the damage caused to these properties. It's not just poor drainage. Ok?

Now behave.

Suburban flooding is caused by the bath tub effect, you cannot instantly get rid of a massive amount of water via a small outlet immediately, you have to let it drain, if you pull the plug on your bath tub the water does not dissapear immediately does it?, it has to drain away over time, no amount of urban planning will stop flooding. 

there is something hypnotic about a boiling ocean...... I could watch it for hours.

No doubt it contains stormwater pollution,  the foam itself is natural. I've seen it on remote parts of the coast

As an added attraction to the storm water pollution and filthy foam, is the sewerage that floats around Sydney Harbour.  Nothing like a Sunday sailing in the Harbour and instead of Dolphins, there is somebody's TURD bobbing along side ........ GROSS.

I was down the south east last year at a beach that is hundreds of k's away from any major civilization and it was covered in plastic and other assorted litter, I was shocked and saddened, obviously there is some sort of ocean current action going on that causes the sh!t to accumulate right there, most people will never even see it due to its remoteness, if the currents conspired to dump it at a beach in a capital city there would be an outcry.
