The bureau believes that most likely the cyclone will track south over the land and become a tropical low by the time it reaches the Sunshine Coast. Our weather forecast has winds today and tomorrow of around 40 knots for our area.
The rain began falling here around lunchtime yesterday (Thursday) and by around 7am Friday morning we had received almost 130mls (over 5"). Unlike other rain events, there are periods when the rain actually stops. Right now as I type the rain has stopped.
Some low lying parts around this area are experiencing flood problems as rivers and creeks rise. We won't get that here as unlike much of the Sunshine Coast our area is not prone to flooding.
Light green shaded areas indicates an extremely low chance of flooding, red = very high chance of flooding. The arrow points to where we live. Click on the map for a larger view.
The rain is best described as steady with some heavy showers. The short breaks in between rain periods is enough to see any water on the ground get away. It seems that at this stage the pool has never seemed like overflowing.
It is expected to be around 27 here degrees today. Everything has a wet feel to it.
I was especially pleased that the PC started up perfectly this morning, this quite high humidity can be murder on electronics!
The rain is expected to continue throughout tomorrow and ease to showers on Sunday.
Trish is heading off to her "Quilters" this morning and I have cricket on TV around 11 am. I am planning to swap the modem/router over to my 'original' D-Link this morning to see if I can keep everything going on the home network. It becomes a pain when having to reboot the current modem/router every couple of hours just to get the wireless printer back online!
I will update again later today.
