Modern society sure has unlearned a lot of stuff our Grandparents had well figured out. I think even the ancient Romans had buildings that did not leak.

So true.

Yeah, but those building weren’t in Tuggeranong.

Hope the rats showed their uncanny ratty sixth sense and got out.

Floods and now earthquakes! It’s all a bit biblical, in a sad suburban way.

I’m sure it’ll all settle down by Christmas. Oh, isn’t that when some Mayans ended a calendar?

My old Nokia phone’s last day of the calendar was 2099, that’s just as good a guess as the Mayan’s one.

+1 🙁

Shame it wasn’t washed away altogether. Would solve any issues regarding what to do with this blight on our landscape.

We have a gauge set up in the back yard, cheap Bunnings one but it works. 31mm in Curtin.

When I affectionately refer to the place as the Horrordome, it’s usually meant to be ironic…

does not show much except 35mm at Ginini – which is another world. I thought that last night it showed more but nothing out of ordinary near Canberra.
Maybe the page will update seriously after 9am.
Can anybody report other falls ?

I think it was very localised…..In Giralang/Kaleen we had an hour of torrential rain, flooded the garden and topped up the water tank to overflowing from the roof coverage….I reckon about 400 or 500 litres went in.
I texted the OH who was in Civic and said “just a little shower then….”
She replied…”what, have you had rain?”
