There's this snippet from an ABC article on the recent record breaking rainfall in and around Brisbane.
"From 9am Thursday to 9am Monday three stations recorded over a metre of rain:
- 1637mm at Mount Glorious, QLD
- 1180mm at Pomona, QLD
- 1094mm at Bracken Ridge."
If my maths is correct, the Mt Glorious total averages out at a bit under 17mm per hour. Much of that would've flowed into Wivenhoe dam, yet commercial media talking heads still wanted to carp about dam releases.
