No but I went aquaplaning and fishtailing in my car this morning on the way to work, lol

Lots of traffic delays due to accidents.

I always wondered on the Gold coast why they did not have big tanks under the ground to catch the water.

Used to watch all this lovely water running down the drains, then a month later water restrictions.

We did have a tank for watering the gardens and topping up the swimming pool.

It might cost a tad more than the Sydney Desalination plant.

Our Goverment should invest in a pipeline to catch the rainwater from the Eastern Coastline to pipe it into the dry areas.

What lunacy! What about all those important fact-finding-missions to dangerous locations like Paris, Rome, London, Vienna, New York, and Brussels? Do you want our pollies to spend money on silly things like piping water? The fact that Australia, in 2015, hasn't been drought proofed is proof that we had/have the most useless bunch of alleged politicians in the world.

I know, it's ridiculous isn't it.?

All that money spent overseas and we cant spend it on something so vital for our country. 

Gawd............youse guys sound like those cretins in Southern California who want to build a pipeline from the Columbia River to Los Angeles, so they can keep their golf courses green and swimming pools full.

Pipeline would be expensive, how often does it rain heavily?

It's not so  frequency as volume.
