Still Raining!

I tipped another 21 mls (almost an inch -25mls= 1 inch) out of the rain gauge this morning. We are quickly closing in on the annual average for Caloundra and may get there in the next couple of days. The forecast is for showers this morning tending to heavy rain overnight. Then more showers and storms tomorrow afternoon and overnight into Thursday. Sunshine is due to return on Friday! This link will take you to my rainfall figures for 2008. For this month's figures you need to click on Q4 (4th Quarter of 2008). Click on "Back" to return to this page.

The map shows where the most damage from the storms occurred on Sunday, all to the west of Brisbane. Caloundra is almost 100k's north of Brisbane so we were a long way from the areas which were hardest hit. Some Brisbane homes are still without power 36 hours after the storm went through. Prime Minister Rudd visited the damaged areas this morning on his return from the US.

I bottled another batch of home brew this morning. Trish flies out for Melbourne tomorrow morning and Barry and John fly in for a week's RnR at the same time.

The first cricket test Australia vs New Zealand is due to start in Brisbane on Thursday! I reckon the start will be delayed!
