That above mentioned rain lasted about as long as a snowball in hell.  But it started raining about 4pm yesterday and has rained ever since.  Nice steady soaking rain , so it will help the dams and creeks ,and fill the tanks,  and maybe get a bit of grass on the ground before the winter cold sets in.   This would be the first good rain in approx 9 months here.  I hope they are getting it over Scone way.

The 3 main models look similar tho' the EC looks pretty good for you PT:

Thunder and lighning here tonight Lights and tv going off and on. Still raining 

Just had a couple of large storms run into each other over top of us, and we got about 2 inches of rain !  I think the last time we saw rain like that was 3 years ago !  The BOM shows more coming .

LOL indeed.  After that rain about a week ago its come on like crazy.  OH already knows whats on his program on his days off.    I dont do lawn mowers any more. 

For now

Oh the rain, just in time for another bog track over Easter

Since Sunday arvo we have had approx 100 to 110 .  70 in one storm over about 45mins.   More coming.  Raining now. They had a shocker hail and wind storm over near Singleton which totally wrecked about 6 houses at Mitchells Flats.

Area looks like those pics you see from the U.S. when tornados go thru.  8 houses totally demolished.  Others a mess.  We have had over 110ml here since Sunday.
I heard on the weather tonight that Dorrigo down to Bellingen had 150ml in a couple of hours. 

Well its flogging down here and has been since 4am.  Too wet to get out to the rain gauge .   Paddocks covered in water already, and by the BOM there is more coming.  At least there are no houses down the end of the street that can float away any more. 

Ouch we haven't seen 2 mm yet!  Leonay is in a rain shadow although we did get 27 mm last week when Penrith got 21mm.  I thought that was great.  Hope you don't disappear into a vast sea up there.  Why is it we get too much or not enough and never a happy medium.

150 now.

Did it get up into the Hunter or only the bottom of the hunter?

I emptied the gauge yesterday arvo and it had 120 in it, and I have just emptied it again and it had 80 in it.  Thats a hell of a lot of water in 24 hours.  All the floods have gone down in town now but there were some worried people last night.  Thankfully they were on the ball this time and imported lost of SES on stand by.
