Wow! Noosa Is Getting Hammered!

One of the stations just south of Noosa (Coops Corner TM) is reporting 714 mm of rain in the 24-hr period ending at 9 a.m. Aug. 24th. That's 28.11 inches! Nearby Rainbow Beach is reporting 713 mm.

The most rain that has ever fallen in Sacramento in one day is 7.24 inches, and that was in 1880. Indeed, Sacramento has only had nine recorded seasons when there was this much rain in the entire year.

And all that flooding is happening in a very narrow coastal strip. After wrecking that pretty place, almost all that excess water will just run back in the sea. And will it help the drought there? Hardly at all!
