I hope the worst of it missed our chemtalk family up there in South East Queensland.
There's been plenty on the news showing the destruction from the big storm that hit Brisbane - I was watching it form up and head east south-east via weather radar and thought that's going to be a whopper.
This is the Brisbane radar from the National Bureau of Meteorology but it also covers the rest of Australia at the same site:

I use it mainly for sailing info but also, when to water my veggies and whether to leave the bike at home and drive to work.
It's now 120km off the coast.
Hope your all ok!

Re: Queensland Storms
Many thanks for the good wishes.The school was not damaged and our house also not damaged.
It cut a path through the north west of Brisbane,I live in the eastern suburbs however two of our staff are at the Gap and have damaged homes.We are warned of more storms today and tomorrow....hope they don't eventuate.
The plus side is the gardens and lawns are green and our tanks are full.The dams are on the way to being full for the first time in 7 years!!!!
I never worried about water until I moved to Queensland....it reminds us daily we live in a very dry country and our students are amazing at conserving water...drilled into them since birth.
