Bizarro Weather Near Brisbane

632 mm at Mt. Bilewilum? Wow! Nearly 25"! That coastal strip near Noosa is being swept out to sea!

But, of course, the dam catchment areas see much less....
The Bureau of Meteorology has issued flood warnings for the upper Maroochy, Mary and Noosa Rivers after record falls in the region.

The Bureau of Meterology reported 632mm at Mt Bilewilam near Double Island Point, while Noosa had almost 400mm - including 80mm in just one hour.

Tewantin recorded 263mm, and 236mm fell at Double Island Point.

There were also good falls in the Stanley River catchment leading to Somserset dam, although Wivenhoe received just 29mm.
