Ex Kirrily,(blue circle), is expected to hang around the Northwest for a few more days. We had a massive deep trough over Southern Queensland and with all that extreme heat there was an excessive amount of moisture. In fact the precipitable water in yesterday afternoons sounding broke a record with 73.5mm. BoM put up another balloon last night and it broke the record again with 74.2 mm. Just an absolutely saturated atmosphere. Ex Kirrily helped to fuel and move the trough Northeast and a low, in yellow, is now developing off the Coast. Exactly what the low will do is a bit of an unknown as the models have a few scenarios, so it is a wait and see if it does veer back towards the Coast or moves East.???

Unfortunately it wasn’t a typical Southeast Storm for us. It was pretty wild with some areas receiving over 300mm in 3 hours. It has caused a fair bit of flooding. Houses a suburb over from here, had a meter of water through them. Many other places over the Southeast have also flooded, houses and businesses. Road closures everywhere. Farms flattened once again in the Lockyear Valley so expect to see higher food prices again.

From what I saw with a couple of Bridges, there must have been a 6 feet wall of water hit at around 2:30am. Would have taken some force to damage the 2 bridges like it did. That is the thick guard rails and hand rails. On the TV those in Bray Park said they were awoken by water in the house, the last time it flooded they said it was slow, but this time they had no warning. It picked up an empty Ford Ute and it floated 250 meters down the street.

It was no where near what you had up North, but for here it was ferocious. But on the flip side, on the Southside of Brisbane, some places only got between 10-20mm. Crazy weather. And that heat wave was a killer at night. Feel like temperature of 35.2°C for the whole night.
