Had about a foot of rain since Friday. My usual joke is that none went to the catchment area but surely....

We haven’t had that much in Mudgee, hearing Dubbo and Bathurst aren’t getting as much either. Some but not torrential like everywhere else.

Wow!

Didn't think it would fill that much

Is that like almost a year's worth of water?

Run off would be faster with no "fuel load"/mulch/ground cover on the forest floors surrounding the dams if the fires went through them

Centennial Park

Not sure there’s any potential for that sign to be ignored anytime soon

Wow, that storm!

Got caught in it driving home from the missus' house. Could hardly see a thing on the road and some fallen trees on the road.

 

[NSWCROW]

Was outside 3 mins before it hit , dead calm and steamy.
The lightning was unreal though , could've brought on seizures such was the frequency.
I've never been in a tornado before but i imagine that it was the perfect conditions for one.

Shook the house and flooded the backyard ( for like the 4th time in a week )
******* maelstrom and now it's dead calm.

Truckie mate parked up at Eastern Creek said his rig was swaying.

*en Sydney eh !

Very very quiet on the run into work at central station. (Parra, Penrith and Blacktown also quiet).

Rare to get surf that big off Sydneys beaches , this is courtesy of an " East coast low ".

And as far as east coast lows go , this has been a walk in the park , usually it rains for 3+ days.
