Rainfall addendum

In the 24 hours to 9.00 am this morning, Dorrigo - which lies about 60km east of here - had, wait for it, 449 mm of rain. Given that it has been pouring since 9.00 am here, I'm prepared to guess that they've had another 200mm. That makes 650 mm in just a day and a half (or 26 inches) ... and my British readers thought that the UK was a wet place. Taking another guess, I'd say that Dorrigo has had something like 3000 mm of rain in the last 6 months. It least the place should be clean!
