Sighs of relief as rain eases over the region
THREE-year-old Sophie Hagan took to the streets of Warwick to inspect the flood damage with an over-sized umbrella and infectious smile - enough to make light of a devastating situation.
But while she enjoyed the downpour, many are thankful the rain has eased off, after a whopping 610.4mm fell at The Head from Thursday until yesterday and 510mm at Carrs Lookout - which was then pushed through the entire region in waves.
Meteorologist at the Bureau of Meteorology David Bernard said the region copped the following millimetres of rain in the 24 hours to 9am yesterday:
Killarney: 10mm
The Head: 28mm
Warwick: 13mm
Maryvale: 34mm
Warwick: 132mm
Goomburra: 19mm
Pratten: 18mm
Leyburn: 20mm
Allora: 22mm
Dalveen: 21mm
