For now at least…
Rain is continuing to pour down on us here in The Gap (Brisbane North) and while the gutters resemble little rivers at the moment, things aren’t too bad. Elsewhere in Brisbane, things aren’t so great.
For those who have been “praying for rain” in this area, you can stop now, we’ve had more than enough!

Flood maps
I have made a mirror of the Brisbane City Council flood maps here. (And I’ve just fixed the file permissions. Seems Down-them-all chmods the files 0600 and I forgot to chmod them 0644. Ooopsie!)
