I was working at Ipswich today and it absolutely pissed down. Petrie isnt that far from Sommerset so it's not looking good :-[

Just a follow up.
We ended up getting 55mm (about 2 inches) for the past few days (Petrie). Good and tank is full but nowhere near enough.
Thanks for the replies guys.

I was visiting a client at Forest Glen ( close to Mooloolaba) and it was bucketing down... The weather news said over 100mm. I believe that, I was in the middle of it!!

Well personally I think there is a fair amount of wet coming. There is a fairly strong frontal system coming through so let's hope it yields. This is the overall satellite image I use off the BOM.

We're not doing too bad along the coast. My garden is keeping fairly green

The trouble is that we're not getting systems strong enough to push loots of rain over the coastal ranges to the Somerset / Wivenhoe catchment areas.
