    Started here about 2.00am, steady light to moderate rain.....up to about 30mm and looking at the radar there's rain all the way up the coast and it's all heading this way.

    All is good here where i am. No sleep though. Got very wild here from midnight on. Would be expecting a hell of a lot more damage around the place this morning. My prediction is that it will exceed 2010-2011 flood heights.You won't hear about any of that since its moved to a more populated area. Same as last time lol. On the upside, No customers in the floodzone this time.

    Not much sleep here either Neil. Up every 30 to 60 minutes during the night emptying buckets.

    Haven't bothered to check the gauge here,it's overflowing.Just waiting for the winds to start up. The in-laws sustained some damage last night up in Burrum Heads but all safe.
