Floods are going strong. In Taiwan they'd probably call the system a taifeng - it's a couple of low pressures circulating. Because Australia is so flat they've managed to come onshore off the north west coast and make their way 4000 km across deserts to the mountains of the east coast where they're dropping the rain.

Record totals in many places. A few around the 1000mm for the 4-day journey. No lives lost - lots of houses flooded.

Today should be the last day. Action now appears to be south east Qld/northern NSW as well as down around Canberra nearly 2000 km to the south - so it's a big storm.
