    It's ironic Tom, you are having floods and S.A. is heading for another drought.

    It's crazy mate.See my comment to Colleen's answer.We had to drive to the Gold Coast this morning to check on our other property.The Gold Coast is in turmoil.Everything is shut down because of power blackouts or the driving rain or the 100mph wind.There is debris all over every road.mainly tree limbs.The roads were virtually deserted in most places & that's wierd for the Gold Coast on a public holiday.

    Wow, scary times. I 'm glad you are in the better section. This is the change my mother kept telling me about. Expect this stuff world wide as the earth settles into her new angle from shifting on her axis.

    Monday 5 Pm here now & it's nearly all over.Some parts of S.E.Queensland have had up to 500mm (20 inches) of rain.The wind gusts were the scariest.Gusts of 100 mph every 20 minutes or so.I never went to bed last night.Got some damage to our property.Lost the roof on one of my sheds & a few power tools were damaged by the heavy rain.But we're OK.
