Maryborough, Queensland

I've never seen rain like this in my life. In driving around I have noticed the extra large heavy duty storm sewers everywhere, and wondered about them. Now I know why they are so large. We had 3 inches of rain in 30 minutes. How's that for a hundred year storm. The parking lot was like a raging river.

We arrived Maryborough about 5:00. The sky was dark and forbidding and after the sun set the thunder storm started. It lasted over 3 hours.

Here's an example of the traffic we have been faced with the past 2 days. Tomorrow should be easier as after about 150 km we go onto a 4 lane highway.

As we were driving south, it kept getting warmer. Here, the dash is showing 36, but a one point to hit 38. On the horizon as we kept going we could see the thunderheads building all afternoon. We were expecting a light show sometime.
