Heart goes out to you guys. I've been watching it on TV and cringing when I see what's happening to some of my favorite places such as Byronshire and Brisbane.

Sadly... It's a sign of the times. Climate change. A huge high pressure system too big to move, stalled for a week, is bringing hot moist air down from the Samoa area and dumping it onto Australia's east coast. New Zealand, on the oter side of the high pressure system, just got cold air for a week from Antarctica. What used to dump big rains for a day or two now dump massive rains for a week.
