[Jarro]

that's why they pay you the big bucks grunter.

Yeah

I work at night in the friggin' rain and don't get paid close to what Grunt does

[3oneday]

But do your baggages drop out of the sky as fast ?

[Grunt]

Yeah

Nah you get more

[Jarro]

Anyone got a figure for how much rain has fallen in the Brisbane catchment areas in the last few days ?

I'd hate to think all this wet we've had hasn't reached the dams

[Chris32]

Whats this rain stuff your talking about........

Media says it missed the major catchment areas, go to the Sunwater Website and see what the level readings have been.

[PeteyD]

They are talking about the catchments being full if the 200 mm falls in them. We had 95 mm last night. According to http://www.seqwater.com.au/newsite/i...ate=2008-11-19 there is still a way to go.

[BrisVegas]

yes.

[chappy1970]

Like Chris32 said, what the hell is this rain you speak of...bloody dry down here

[Bruce]

Stop exaggerating Chappy. We've had a good 3-4mm this month so far.

[Chris32]

I can't recall the last time we had any decent rain. I think it was about 4 months ago, but nothing decent of late.

Might go and polish the car, that always seems to do the trick

[Courty]

We had a huge downpour up here today. Flash flooding all 'round town. Our drainage guys reckon we had about 2 inches in an hour to achieve the water levels we did.

[Grunt]

Has threatened to pour all day here, but only got light showers at best. Maybe 2mm at best.

We have had a fair bit with more coming, looks like alot of tonights will fall below the dams a cause some flooding in and around Gatton-Ipswich-Southside Brissy tonight and Thurs morning.

[Jarro]

Well ... i just got home from working in this for the last 4 hours or so




there is some pretty decent falls happening right now ..... here's hoping the dams are getting as good topup

[3oneday]

We've had a good 3-4mm this month so far.

I think we had that in about 10 minutes last night in Sydney

[AndyP]

Flash flooding everywhere. Unfortunately, I can still get in to work.

[3oneday]

How's the cricket looking up there, on or no chance ?

[PeteyD]

Blue skies this morning. Supposedly showers storm this afternoon so probably some cricket to be played.

[sms316]

Kevin Mitchell was on the Big Sports Breakfast this morning. He said that a filthy storm went through at about 1am and tore up the covers. The pitch is fine, but the surrounding pitches are mushy.

Big doubts on the match starting on time. $3.85 on the draw looks very appealing.

Heard that too, he did not seem too confident. I got the impression that no play before lunch is going to be had.

[Jarro]

The 'Gabba drains well, no problem there, so we should get play underway on time (even after another pearler of a storm last night)
