Certainly some nip in the air isnt there..!..already fighting the Staffy for blankies at night already..

I see BOM has already put out an intial flood warning for FNQ rivers from Wednesday onwards....they must really think this will be a decent event...I see one mob describing it as a "Hook and stall" event which doesnt sound good...essentially a surface trough catching the low that was Malia and it sitting on the coast for an indeterminate amount of time dumping heavy rain...

i also see another mob stating the rain activity will persist into May...though after all the scaremongering that amounted to nought after the last cyclone that wasnt I'm surprised these folks are so bold to make such predictions....I guess we wait and see and at least Bunyip has a shed full of fuel, food and new chompers so it doesnt matter if Solar Dave and his designer dogs new 300k boat washs the ferry out again.....but you can all still donate to his fund as its still up there guys...

and yeah SM very happy to see the gauges back up again...Once again i reported the outage to the local council and once again they said it was BOMs issue..I told them that last time they said that also that BOM told me ,NO, it was councils responsibility...and like last time a week or so later somebody finally sorted it out and sent someone to fix the issue...

So I guess till next time a grasshopper or frog gets stuck and stops the gauge we have some nearby totals to compare..
