Heed the warnings ahead of this flood watch - this region is completely sodden. It is not going to take very much rain for river levels to rise.

Happening NOW! I will be tuning in on night shift 🌖

Record flooding in the Manning, with records going back to 1929. Stay up to date with the latest warnings - and never underestimate these small coastal NSW troughs

Another busy week for flooding in Australia. Normally, the kinds of rainfall totals we’re seeing in the international models wouldn’t be *too* concerning, but these catchments are already sodden, so rivers will rise quickly to any new rain.

This likely to be the largest flood in living memory for many across the Thomson, Barcoo, and Cooper catchments in Queensland. Rivers have already passed or are expected to surpass 2000, 1990, and 1974 flood levels. River levels are still rising; we have yet to see any peaks along the main channels.

The Thomson and Barcoo Rivers and Cooper Creeks are experiencing an incredibly significant flood right now. Possibly one of the largest in living memory for this area. Please stay up to date with the latest warnings. There’s another update coming tonight

Great piece. Three key takeaways that resonate: 1. Getting good code from an LLM is *always* an iterative process; 2. Using LLMs means I code *more* and therefore I learn at an accelerated pace about what works and what doesn’t; and 3. ALWAYS TEST what it produces because it is usually overconfident

Again, a reminder that some of the worst flood impacts from a cyclone can occur long after it makes landfall and is downgraded. The flood threat is far from over for SEQ and NE NSW.

Looking at Cyclone Alfred as a flood forecaster, I want to highlight how flood risk fits into the broader conversation about tropical cyclones. Some key points 🧵

First flood warning of TC Alfred has been sent - Minor to Major for the Bellinger in NSW.
The modelling has been startlingly consistent over several days indicating moderate to major flooding possible or even likely for many rivers across NE NSW and SE QLD.

The story of this cyclone has been full of (literal) twists and turns.
This is a very dangerous storm that has already caused damage to the coast. Stay up to date with the latest warnings and follow the advice of emergency services.

We’ve got eyes on the Qld North Tropical Coast tonight. The amount of rainfall forecast tonight is nowhere near the totals we’ve seen in recent weeks. However, catchments in the NTC are very wet from recent flooding, and rivers and creeks are very responsive to even small amounts of rainfall.

I've created some feeds for all things flooding in Australia. Please like so that others can find them!

We will certainly be keeping an eye on this over the next several days… still too early to say how it might impact the east coast
