He was so benevolent, so merciful a man that, in his mistaken passion, he would have held an umbrella over a duck in a shower of rain. - Douglas William Jerrold

Glad I am on the hill in Urunga at the present moment.  I received information that the SES ( State Emergency Service) are door knocking in my old street in Bellingen.  When the SES come knocking you know its bad.

This present inclement weather is caused by the following, High cloud with embedded thunderstorms covers much of eastern Queensland and northern NSW and is associated with an upper-level trough. Extensive areas of cloud with embedded thunderstorms also cover much of the far north of the continent as well as waters to the north and northwest of Australia. This cloud is associated with an active monsoon trough.
