Hows this rain WHOAAA! Its bucketing down here... my pool has gone brown again from all the stormwater runoff from the retaining wall I am building. Anyone wanna try kitesurf the floodwaters?

Thats from our balcony

damn you guys are getting hammered - is any of it actually headed for the dams and water catchments - or is it all just playing havoc with the roads and towns?

I was told there was something like 19 inches in one of the damns, so fingers crossed its landed in the others.

Virtually none of this chaos is going into to the Brissy dams. Apparently Sunshine Coast dams are full, but there almost always full. In 3hrs they have had 700mm of rain at Rainbow Beach!

Echostorm do ya think Woolies at Coolum will mind if I set my kite & lines in the carpark?

That photo that echo posted is normally a cane field . HFS man.

Yeah opposite Woolies, will mt coolum effect the wind in the paddock echo?

muahahaha... What time do u boys wanna meet tomorrow??? Im keen for an early one then an arvo run.

have you seen down on gympie terrace. The river is pretty much on the road and all the jettys are atleast a foot under the water, some even more. so crazy. the boat house is about to float away because it is coming off the poles holding it

10am at lake stumers (Stumers Creek), I check the creek at 5pm and there was in the creek runing thru like the amazon tidal flow same time as the tide. We could always find a paddock or mal dow the creek.

well i dunno bout you guys but im about 15 mins west of gympie and we got 8 inches rainbow beach/tin can (where i normaly am on the water) has had something like 27 inches that means i cant go for a sail

Yea Keahi,saved a drowned speed boat that got sent to the bottom of the river from the rain,we managed to tie a snach strap to it and literaly dragged it to shore with a large size zodiac,then we tied the floating restaurant to jetty piers with a heep of steel cable and 'd' shackles,then drank piss untill high tide at 7.30pm friday night...the restaurant came within inchs of slipping of the slide piers....got wet on the outside and totally soaked on the inside from drinkiing till high tide.....Leaff is there now salvaging things from the office that went under last night...tonight is the real test with a high at approx 8.30pm 600mm predicted higher than last tide....the drama's will unfold at about 9.00pm on Gympie Terrace...p.s hope it creates a good set up to kite at the mouth as the'frying pan' is almost non existant now... so much for the rare species of birds that council reckon were being disturbed by kiters the water is 10m into the mangroves

I heard about the floating restaurant!! Dam... is it still there after tonights flood???

hay Echo,are you guys still gunna kite the paddocks at Coolum...ha...I'll bring down a camcorder and film it for prosperity's sake if ya's do.....Flood water subsideing in Noosa,no shops were damaged nor the 'Boathouse' floating restaurant....no rain but very windy now at9.30am....points only small untill Tee Tree ......heeps coming in from allover to surf...remember all, the David Low highway is blocked at Sunrise do to road collapse...traffic being diverted at Perrigean Springs roundabout and north of Stummers roundabout....Roo
