BOM Feeds24/06:30 EST Final Flood Warning for the Lake Macquarie
http://www.bom.gov.au/nsw/warnings/flood/lakemacquarie.shtml
BellycanNewcastle trains are once again suspended between Fassifern and Newcastle, due to flooding at Cockle Creek. The rain has mostly stopped so it probably won't be out long, I hope.
When we moved in here, the lounge room was dark and dingy in the daytime. So we got a skylight installed and now it's much nicer even on cloudy days.
Fast forward to 150mm rain in 24 hours, much of it heavy rain in the evening, and let me tell you: subtitles are a fine thing!
Nobody tells you when you buy a skylight that you won't be able to hear the TV in heavy rain.
I think we're now at 350mm since 9am Sunday. The rain is mostly just off the coast, so it's quiet here now, at last. Looks like Sydney is copping it hard. Maybe the mid-north coast will get a chance to drain finally.
100mm since 9am. I think that makes it 300mm since Sunday 9am. A bit damp.
SuzyShearerI am so sick of rain!
The east coast of NSW has been inundated with a 500 year flooding event. An East Coast Low has cause it all.
The map attached only show the areas where I live, thankfully I live on a slight hill (blue dot) and at the moment it's "Watch & Act" but it's really bad.
I have a small weather station in my yard and have had over 460mm (18") of rain since Saturday morning - & it's still raining.
It's supposed to start clearing on the weekend.
Sadly four people have died and over 50,000 people have been evacuated. Thousands are isolated.

Current status: wet.
From a forecast 30mm, we've had 120mm since 9am yesterday and it's still chundering down. With big thunder. Forecast is for up to 80mm today, up to 70mm tomorrow.
Somewhat glad I got eggs and wine yesterday. Would be a shitty walk today.
Lovely walk into Toronto NSW this morning to pick up some veg. A very parrot day, with corellas on the walk in, a surprise pair of yellow tailed black cockatoos when I got there, loads of raucous rainbow lorikeets and maybe some musks in the flowering gums at Cole's carpark, and gambolling sulphur crested cockatoos when I got home. No photos, just soaked it all in 🙂
So we hit 135mm rain between the 9AMs, the creeks are full, and train services are cut between Newcastle and Fassifern due to flooding at Cockle Creek station.
Beautiful sunshine right now, the world is so shiny after the rains.
It's a bit damp, eh? 100% humidity, 78mm rain since 9am. "Heavy falls possible" – yeah, that did happen. A few times. 💧
