Sydney's turn! Been raining here pretty steadily the last day or so. Even with awesome drainage, I don't think we're training tonight
Is Royal Randwick low lying?
Polly loves a swim..is she running

Yeah she is but fresh up and doesn't have a fresh record to speak of. Carrying 61 and the next is 54 which doesn't help.
What does help is that it will be wet and James McDonald is on. What we don't want is a gut buster first up as there are some nice races she will be defending.

I dont know the specifics of Randwick and the flood plain, I believe they did some significant drainage work in 2009 so might be ok, but I am sure someone will know the detail though

it was pretty fucked on saturday, so another week of rain might have proper fucked it.

And it's coming from offshore so Randwick is probably wetter than an otter's pocket.
@Hooroo not sure at what point they call the races off, but she's bloody damp across Sydney and some of it doesn't deal well with heavy rain.

Parra Eels have their training ground just down the hill from us in the same precinct.
I suspect ours is in slightly better shape overall due to elevation, but all the fields have great drainage that kept us training when other rugby clubs were closed the last week.

Death toll continues to rise. Feel somewhat ghoulish reporting said facts ...
But 9 now in QLD.
2 overnight in NSW, including 80-something lady who stayed in her home (in Ballina? Lismore?) despite her family trying to get her to leave on Sunday.
Dunno if there's been any issues today. -
Here we go again. Email circulated at work from HSE adviser as follows:
Subject: Dangerous Storms SEQ to Wide Bay
Importance: HighGood morning all,
I have just watched the 11am emergency briefing from Annastacia et all.
These are considered very dangerous storms and will be here in SEQ today and tomorrow.
BOM is advising that Northern Moreton Bay to Fraser Coast (including Sunshine Coast, Gympie, Wide Bay to Bundy) weather is life threatening. It will be very unstable for the next 24-48hours.
Government have requested people pick up children in these areas as soon as possible.
Government has advised people to be off SEQ/Wide Bay roads tomorrow.
Damaging winds and hail are predicted in some areas
Ipswich and Brisbane river and creeks will experience flash flooding through afternoon and evening.
Schools will be closed again in some places, open for essential workers. -

Pestilence, War, Death we have in abundance

@mariner4life Sad but true

well well, if it isn't a pattern of behaviour
On the threat of the afore-mentioned storms, Queensland's Savior in Chief Anna Palletjack had a message sent out closing schools and imploring parents to collect their kids as soon as possible. Of course the message sort of failed to pinpoint where, so all of SE Qld panicked.
Turns out Storms weren't bad, not everyone had to do it, but hey, better safe than sorry right
And, in shit i have heard before "i was just following advice" "safety has to come first"
where have i heard all this before?

Yeah, strangely we're not dead yet.
Had a reasonable storm blow through here yesterday arvo. Probably dropped 50mm in an hour accirding to Doppler radar, which is significant but not unheard of.
Am still waiting for the doomsday storms to ramp up today. Stay off the roads. Close the schools. Work from home.
Manager had to look after kids as school was closed, but took the day off instead of WFH as "it's such a lovely day" ...
Anyway, a few red and yellow spots on the radar around the Sunny Coast. Hoping they don't become anything as Jr is driving through it in a few minutes.
No warnings on BOM.

Yeah I got that phone call from my son. Ridiculous overreaction. They cancelled all GPS sport tommorrow, including farking debating. Dude at swimming was saying that Pallachook was underplaying the impact last weekend and this was her usual overcorrection. Not sure how true that is but it wouldn't surprise me.
