The media seem quietly disappointed by the lack of fatalities.

I think the Brisbane floods put the wind up people (eh?) so that everyone took the warnings seriously.

Thing is, though, all that tropical ex-cyclonic air is now wafting about over the inland. It is likely to drift south, and if it meets a low pressure trough or cold front off the southern ocean, it could dump huge amounts of rain.
Again.
Lord knows where the next flood will be.

Ya know what? I still hate drought much, much more than flood.
