Deluge drenches the Sunshine Coast
12:00a.m. 3 June 2008
It took a while for the rain to arrive but when it finally hit the Sunshine Coast, it did so with gusto.
After waiting 48 hours for the promised deluge, the Coast woke yesterday morning to find the heavens had opened and the region was awash.
Many areas recorded falls of more than 100mm on Sunday night, with Diddillibah (176mm), Eumundi (172mm), Nambour (169mm) and Maroochydore (161mm) among the heaviest.
By yesterday morning roads were cut off, schools closed and traffic thrown into chaos but still the rain continued and a stream of motorists came to grief on the drenched surfaces. (...)

meine freundin aus glasshouse mountains schrieb mir am sonntag:
You are probably aware of the huge low pressure system that is affecting us here and giving us all this rain. It's going to be interesting how things go in the next 24 hours. We have had lots of rain already and we haven't even seen the worst of it yet. The ground is totally saturated and the poor people up around Harvey Bay have been flooded again. The beaches are finally in good condition again but now it looks as if that's all going to be ruined again too. It's very unusual for us to get rain like this at this time of the year. And in answer to your question about the cold; no it isn't normal for it to be so cold at this time of the year.
