This is 'steady'?

Well if you believe the new NBN weather man (just what happened to Gary Youngberry?), we are in for a weather wallopping, somehing akin to Armageddon, over the next couple of days. This could mean we are flooded in. Or out. So if we do get the predicted 100mm (4 inches) today then I think we might batten down the hatches and stay at home tomorrow. It is eerily quiet and calm right at the moment, (8.29am) though we did get 11mm of rain last night, and apparently the winds in Lismore were huge.
I checked the Bureau of Met's page when I got to work and Leycester Creek, which is the creek that forms part of our boundary, was described as 'steady'. Hmmm how anyone can call that dancing line 'steady' I don't know. There seems to be a definite trend upwards to my googlie eyes. Anyway, we are stocking up on essentials at Woolies this afternoon. That means chocolate. And lots of of it. Oh and some punnets of live crickets for the goannas.

Re Gary Youngberry he hasjoined one of the Brisbane/Queensland TV stations. Hope the weather predicted doesn't arrive at your place- looked very nasty on the news tonight.
