As a result, the dams were quite full leading up to the floods, and may have contributed.

However, what's more concerning for the state is the Tropical Cyclone Yasi...likely to be Category 4-5 before it crosses land Thursday. Huge...big.

Good lord. I wish you guys the best. We are looking at a foot of snow tomorrow and Wednesday morning. Not a big deal but our area is a flood zone with very silty soil that doesn't drain well. Every foot of snow turns into an inch of rain quickly in the spring.

Damn, I never even realized that Australia gets hit with hurricanes/cyclones.
