I live near Frankston in Victoria. We've just had a storm come through that's flooded half the house (still pouring in).
Hope those up in the High Country fighting the fires benifit from the rain.
Regards
Kim

I believe it Kim , not quite that bad here in Knox but it sure is pouring as expected and is why I packed the chains last night.

National and links to all states start here www.exploroz.com/States/Default.asp - On the Weather maps you can open the Zoom Map option and zoom into your area of interest. Some of the data is going to be overlaid on the standard mapping system in
places,
treks and others in the next year.

Hi guys
Just finished the mopping up, pouring 2 gallons of water out of the second stereo and calming the dog down.
However, I'm not too thrilled that my brand new, pretty little 4WD was rained upon!
One must have priorities....

Kim

Pesty
That's very good news.
I've often thought (given the size of this site) that informal Exploroz teams could be organized to assist communities in need, such as the fires in
Victoria.

the wind that was with it will cause more problems than that small amount of rain.

In Lanwarrin. Had just popped into Bunnings to pick up the new BBQ. Driving home, thinking about the beer and bbq that was to be for dinner. Ducked into coles for some meat, came out - no chance of having a bbq!!! Good for the garden though. I actually heard some kids complaining about the rain. I also saw one old guy dancing in it. We had a couple of leaks in our place and some flooding in the drains but no complaints here. It was long overdue and I'm hoping it's not too long between drinks.

Good to hear that some of those that needed the rain got some, I know that the
Flinders Ranges was very dry when we were there in September.
We only got 2mm in SW
Victoria but thats better than nothing.
