[QUOTE="Ironwood, post: 409216, member: 10447"] Thats just a normal occurrence in the wet season around here. Its not unusual to get 300mm/12 inches in a day here at least once a year. In February 2008 we got 450mm/18 inches in one day, in Mackay, about 30 km away, they got 600mm/24 inches that same day, there was pretty major flooding that day because the water couldn't get away quickly enough, a lot of houses were inundated. Our roads need to be repaired regularly this time of year, its just a part of life when you live in the tropics :):rolleyes:. [/QUOTE]
