    Default rain rain lots of rain lol (QLD)

    well i live in QLD and where i live we have been having rain non stop for the last 24 hours....getting to the point of flooding around my place . Pot holes are opening up everywhere as they do everytime it rains (always the same pot holes )

    whoever else lives around the wide bay/southeast area hows the weather and roads there? im near maryborough and going by the weatehr radar and weatehr people, we are in for a bit more yet.

    cheers

    Ooh yeah, love the brisbane rains. I live on a wide, open T-Junction, in a main traffic shortcut, so all I hear, all day and all night, is people getting it sideways up the road ^_^

    Wouldn't like to be camping at the Arts Factory in Byron right now, it would be one of those freak Winters where the lower 90% of the place is underwater, makes for some cold sleeps

    I havnt been on it for a good 3 months, used to commute on that road every day, was a **** road, still is. When it rained hard it was pretty good when it came to pot holes, not many opened up, you could see most from a fair distance away, just gotta be alert man thats all. I would avoid Boral road from what ive herd though.

    Be carefull on boat harbour drive next to caltex round about, there are a few holes that lead to china there, its always like that.

    The coast it OK, it rains really really heavy at night and 70-90km winds, but durring the day its just gray skies and the occasional shower. It woke me up lastnight and the night b4, we have pine trees accross the road from us and i have never seen them bend over so far in all my years of living here and we've had some pretty bad storms come through.

    The utes outside atm so im hoping it doesnt hail!!
