I prefer rain to humidity. HOWEVER.

Boondall (North Brisbane) to Beerburrum has has 130mm this last hour including 90mm in half an hour - unprecedented amounts of rain. This thunderstorm is moving south and will probably make it to the CBD which has remained not too bad (44mm since 9am).

Southern Suburbs have been creamed too.

Part of me is actually excited! Housemates and I are going - with no phones or wallets, will be good.

PS anyone else going - level 7 will be open. Go up and sit in section 721 or 722, good centreline view.

Live halfway between Brisbane and the Sunny Coast. Yeah, it's not getting any better.

I'm on a sloped street and the road on either side looks like something you'd see from a water slide.Can barely see anything beyond the end of the street too.

Why no phones and wallets???

That rain sounds full on, it's almost as wet as a dry winters day in NQ.........

 

[lockyno1]

Whoever is going tonight deserves a medal and I hope Phil Gould gets drenched on the sideline, will be priceless

 

[Suitman]

Any chance of it being cancelled if those types of rain rates keep up?
What's the drainage like?

Take Iphone's away from a bunch of 24 year olds and you get the banter back. Will just get drenched and iphone will die.

I live so close to Suncorp we all leave the wallets behind so we don't impulse buy $35 hotdogs.

Suncorp said on Facebook I will continue but as we speak this is getting crazy, could change!

Tonight's ANZAC Test between Australia and New Zealand is proceeding as scheduled. The first of the curtain-raisers will now be played elsewhere meaning gates will open at the later time of 5pm. The Jillaroos v Ferns womens game will kick-off at 5.20pm and the Test at 8pm. We will keep you posted on other news during the day.
