Since the rain started about 5 am yesterday I have tipped 183mls out of the rain gauge. In old speak that is about 7 1/2 inches of rain. We had that over 26 hours or so. At no stage did our pool look like overflowing.For the first time in our memory there was water covering our street from the end of the court to back beyond our home.
Most of the heaviest falls were north of Noosa away from the beach. Those areas had over 450mls (or about 18 inches) and are about 80 kilomtres (50 miles) from our home. The heaviest rain usually falls inland from Noosa so these heavy falls tend to be well away from where we live. It is wet here in Caloundra but all this means is the garden doesn't need watering for a few days.
Though we have grey skies right now (7:30 am) it is relatively dry outside. The photos are from the local paper web site and were taken around Maroochydore yesterday about 20k's north of us.More rain tending to showers is predicted for today

I'm sure glad you convert the rain to inches for me. It is one less thing for me to "look up". My - but we sure do need that over here. We had wind gusts of 54 miles per hour today. Uprooting trees and tearing down fences and signs. And the wind is predicted to keep on blowing through Sunday. Horrible weather.
