Right now Queensland is in monsoon season, taking record rainfalls, and massive flooding.

62% of Queensland is currently underwater. 62%!

Townsville has some flooded roads, but isn’t doing too badly by comparison with our neighbours. We are however cut off. To the north, west and south of us is flooded. To the east is the sea. It’d be a good time to own a boat.

We had our 2nd cyclone pass through the area last week, it crossed the coast about 100km north of here and travelled west, then looped around and started heading back in our direction. At the same time, a potential cyclone was forming to the east of us, and heading inland. With Townsville sandwiched in the middle. Brilliant!
