A timely reminder to southern journo's who tend to hyperventilate whenever we get a decent drop of rain (and end up unnecessarily frightening all the recent arrivals).

Only rainfall above 400mm in 24hrs or 200mm every day for a week or more is when it becomes newsworthy up here (and if it's Babinda or Tully, try doubling that). #Townsville #LifeInTheTropics
