Exmouth deluged with rain
Submitted by carnarvonite on Sat, 2014-04-26 13:15
For those travelling up to Exmouth it might be worth holding off for a few days.
They have had well over 100 mm of rain in the last 24 hours, 64 mm since 0900 this morning. The main street is a river and all the floodways are that, floodways. The met station down at Learmonth is where the recordings are taken but they are below the rain band that has dumped on the town so would expect the town reading to be over 200mm.

thats interesting
I see there is large front with lots of water between Gero and Leeman, heavy rain expected there. So I'm thinking this front may follow up behind it.

Had heapsof rain
Saturday afternoon all night here in Leeman, rain was so heavy during the night it woke me up hitting the tin roof. So what you said Paully was correct.
Got up Sunday morning and read my weather gauge for measuring rain and we had 28.5mm from about 3.00pm Saturday tillI got up Sunday at about 9.00am and read it unofficial rain gauge, absolutely peed down.
