The rain continues for eastern Australia with more storms, rain and showers on their way, according to weatherzone.com.au.
Yesterday, the rain bucketed down across southeast QLD and northern NSW, with the heaviest falls picked up over the Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast. Many towns in the area received over and above 50mm, with Nerang and Hinze Dam picking up 54mm, and Southport 73mm. The Gold Coast itself picked up 64mm, the heaviest rain in 17 months, and for four years for November.
Brisbane CBD also joined in, awash with over 77mm of rain to 9am. This was the heaviest falls four over four and half years, and the wettest November day in at least eight years for November.

I was working late mapping the disaster areas for council, when I volunteered to help clear a tree from Roma St, that fell during the violent 7pm storms on Thursday night.
This is one of the council workers I went out with, and an SES member cutting the tree into smaller pieces so we could move it from the road.
The winds that caused this tree to fall were so powerful, that lamp posts were shaking, windows were being blown in, and I saw a tree outside my office snap in two and blow down the street.
There are more storms predicted for Saturday.
