Feeling a tad damp

[savarin]

5 days of continuous very heavy rain, up to 3 to 400ml every 24 hours.
The whole of North Queensland is flooded, our house escaped but at one stage the toilets couldn flush away, I had expectations of the sewers back flushing but it subsided.

WOW, what a mess!  Mother Nature always wins, all we can do is stay out of the way and hunker down, let it pass over.  Stay safe - hope you and the family come through it okay.

Wow, that is a lot of water!

I have a question though. You said three to four hundred ml of water every 24 hours. As far as I have seen rainfall is usually measured in either inches or mm, in other words depth and the area does not matter. Did you mean mm, or is there another way to measure rainfall using volume over a given area? If it is measured in ml, over what size area is that volume measured?

Regardless of the answer, I hope you manage to stay dry and see some relief very soon.

I blame my fick fingers and  , millimetres.
Its still raining but we missed the flooding, right on the edge.

Are things starting to dry up a bit down there?

[savarin]

not a chance Terry, according to the forecast at least one more week, probably two weeks.
Spent most of today removing mould of everything in the house.
Humidity is around 85 to 100% most of the time so its growing everywhere.
The only saving grace is the gaps between the downpours is just enough to let the roads drain but unfortunately insufficient to let the flooding go down by much.
Its somewhat ironic we are listed as the dry tropics

Wow. That forecast almost sounds like a horror movie. Wishing you all the best, Charles.

The scary part is they have been very accurate so far.
