POSSIBLE VERY HEAVY RAIN in approximately 3 days time
The White Crocus have started to flower - WARNING - likely to have heavier flooding than just flash-flooding starting in about 3 days time. Maybe a very wet soggy New Year!
IF the weather reports in a couple of days, do in fact, also predict a deluge, then it would be a good idea to stock up on medicines, easy to cook edibles (on a gas burner),fill gas bottles and water bottles and a couple of toilet flushing buckets of water. Also make sure your car has a full tank of petrol. Check radio and torches and keep your phone and computer charged. Also check on neighbours if in fact we are flooded for a few days.
It is better to be safe, than sorry.
The weather nowadays is often unpredictable with sudden changes in wind and rain patterns. In the past power has been cut, as well as the roads cut, off for a few days.
Please Note:
Only a few White Crocus have bloomed. Usually all come in flower, but so far they have not. So
It will be interesting to see if a huge rain event does happen.
When very heavy flooding is going to happen we usually also see turtles crossing the Maleny - Kenilworth Rd. near the Conondale Memorial and Recreation Park (Green Park) and sometimes on the flats near the bridge over the Mary River. They temporarily move to drier land.
