It's raining heavily. Not the sudden storm kind, that wants to pound the flesh from your bones with liquid ball-pean hammers, but the "set in" stuff that makes the air so drenchingly thick with water that it'd be like walking through treacle to go out in it. The house has sprung a leak again (one of the usual suspects). The rain's got a little bit wind behind it too. The
BoM is saying:
"A severe weather warning has been issued for damaging surf conditions with waves to 5 metres in the surf zone producing significant beach erosion. Rain periods. Moderate to fresh and gusty easterly winds. Dangerous beach conditions."
The rain radar is currently blowing out from
blue to yellow over
Tewantin.
The
surfcam's are currently playing silly buggers, probably overloaded with traffic, and there's lots of flooding south
just over the border, cutting off roads, and likely to be
more, and wind damage, up here as this goes on.
With waves over 8' expected this arvo on Noosa Main Beach, we might drive down and watch the fun later on. It looks like we'll still be waiting a bit before we get the rest of our beach back.
Cheers,
Marc
