Heavy, heavy rain in Montenegro today. Staying home and recharging batteries for the next week is a good choice.

Lindenlea said:Here in the Northern Rivers of NSW we have just received the biggest rain dumping since the levy was built 12 years ago to protect the town of Lismore from regular floods. The levy was breached and within hours the town was flooded to around 2 metres, all in the business district, many small shops and cafes are going to have a massive cleanup. The area is already sodden from about 10 days of on and off rain, but this last 2 days was just heavy and heavier rain. Last night was all about high winds (I feared for my windows being blown in - hardly slept).
This rain was from Cyclone Debbie, which has just decimated a lot of Hamilton Island Resort off the Mid/North coast of Queensland and has worked it's way down the Queensland coast to the Northern Rivers. There has been thousands of evacuations to higher ground, all schools were closed today as the water rose, and the Southern Cross University, was a gathering point where people with flooded homes could stay. The SES (State Emergency Services) have been inundated with requests for help. At the moment, 10.30pm. it is so still, feels eerie.
I had plans to take the train to Sydney on Monday, but there is a lot of coach replacement, which on a 12 hour trip is a nightmare, so I switched to as short flight and now I have to be lucky enough to get to Ballina/Byron airport, 30k east, tomorrow.
