Not again! BoM issues Flood warning for Qld and NSW.

"A major rain event will engulf most of eastern Australia during the next 48 hours, prompting the Bureau of Meteorology to issue flood watches from southern Queensland to the NSW South Coast.

“Greater Sydney could be soaked by up to 200mm from late Thursday to early Saturday, potentially leading to major flooding along the Hawkesbury-Nepean River, while Brisbane and Canberra also face the prospect of heavy rain.”

    @No1 Very true and depends on over how long of a period of time. 25-80 mm in a matter of 20-30 minutes isn’t so great anywhere, much like 400-600+ mm over a two day period.
