More Flooding in SE Qld (around where I live)

[Aliantha]

This time last year, we were all cleaning up after devastating floods to south east Queensland, and now we're in the midst of more flooding. Must be something about the monsoon season or something!

All jokes aside, so far it's not as bad as last year, in large part due to the fact that the rain has so far been mostly coastal, so it runs off fairly quickly. That could all change in the next couple of days as a low pressure system moves down through central Qld to butt heads with the trough that's dropping all the water on us at present. It's likely to be pretty bad for some people if that becomes the scenario. Hopefully both systems will weaken, and there is some debate about that issue, but in the end, these things do tend to be a little bit unpredictable.

Where we live was cut off for a couple of days earlier this week, but most of the roads are open now. It's raining now though, so it'll probably get worse before the day is out.

Here's a link to the government website. Just in case you don't know, Qld is the state in the top right corner of the country. The one that's covered in clouds. We live in Jacobs Well which is kind of right in the path of most of the weather at the moment.
