They were travelling at 25-30 km/h before hitting the oil patch so yeah even going slow the oil screwed them up if they were going faster it would of been worse then a crack rim and damaged steering/arms lol

Driving back from Queensland Tuesday night just passed, it was all sunshine and lollipops until i hit Newcastle... 7.30pm daylight became black and then the heavy rain set in. For 200km i was driving in blinding rain, lightning + thunder cracking every 5-10 secs, i was aqua planing also over the place and the B-double trucks flying past me didnt help kicking up spray... so yeah 1.5hrs turned into 2.5hr trip... Sh!thouse weather...

is the suncorp stadium currently filled with water?

It was during the floods, but i don't think so now... having said that, the wet season is just firing up.

Here it was more the wind and hail. I was "lucky" in that all i ended up with was a couple of ripped fly screens and mud in my garage (but had to throw out a steam mop). Many others wren't so lucky.... I had a meeting in the city earlier in the week, and all the trees along the river have just been completely stripped bare. Looked pretty eerie.

How much rain was there in the end?

just drove home from the grand mothers place in caboolture in the northers outskirts of brisbane, back home to laidley near gatton...i went the back way home through woodford dagular kilcoy, the rain was the heaviest i have ever driver through and the wind was literally blowing me off the road...was down to 15km an hour in 100 zones and zero visability, so pulled over and sat most of it out...listening to the 6pm news on 94.9 going through esk they said the area i was in had 97mm in less then an hour
was the slowest trip home ever, but would rather take much longer and be safe then speed

FMD !! 97mm in an hour !! It must've been more rain than air outside !

 

[Bad Billy]

About to get pumped again, by the looks if it.

yep the radio said they had reports of 97mm in under an hour, and driving in those conditions was a nightmare pulled over and sat it out have never seen anything like it before
