Well Yasi is dumping rain on Alice Springs - talks about sandbags there. The Todd River is a big channel with another massive flood plain heading up to Darwin - even though the traditional 'yacht races' there are conducted in the dry river bed on foot, the contestants carrying their 'constructions' by hand ... the races have been known to be canceled on account of rain ...

The 'outflung arms' of what was Yasi are now dumping rain on Adelaide and Melbourne, and talks about flooding there now ... Sydney cooking along nicely at expected temps of 36 deg C ... oh and very recent bushfires in NSW and Vic. There was a comment that this year there has been an almost unbroken line of natural disaster along the Great Dividing Range from North to South of the Eastern Side, mostly flood.

The remnant of the Eastern Tail of Yasi is now approaching the East Coast of Qld, looks like a fair bit of rain in it too.
