Wow Scott you must be in a hot zone :)
Funny enough I must be too, as we lost power very early Tuesday morning, only our little area so it was not
detected by ergon, a pole fuse.. So it was 10:30 by the time it was back on yesterday.

Then at around 13:00 we had another storm and a strike in the yard, I jumped about 2 foot off the ground as I
was talking to the dog and walking from the kitchen to the veranda.. Being a gun dog she was straight on point :lol:

Phone line is dead here, couldn't put myself through the telstra terrorist call centre yesterday, see how I go today.
But seriously thinking it might be time to drop telstra once and for all..

My starlink is running on dial up speeds @ $8.50pm and doing most of what we need, can get a bit of lag if the mrs is
watching reels :) But it will stream youtube on the TV when we turn off the phones so don't need much more than that.


Would like a nice rain day, these hot mornings are ferocious.


Cheers

EDIT: 13mm yesterday & 16mm today

Second EDIT: I didn't see the page turn, Wow Scott, I didn't even hear about anyone lost , sounds like he was bloody
lucky. Bloody cassowary eh who would of thought :) LOL

Like Scott said funny trend with the cardwell to townsville area pulling huge rainfall numbers last year and continuing into this year. The opposite for my area i only recorded 2777mm last year the driest in 5 years and im off to a slow start compared to most others for 2026 with not quite 500mm for the month yet. See what happens the rest of the wet season but certainly my rainfall has been hit and miss, Mossman doing much better a few places around there over 700mm for the year already.

Good to see you drop in GT
Yes it's a different year to the last couple.. I wonder if it will be a low rainfall year ?

I picked up 37mm overnight last night.
