As Mick said, line of storms extending from around Coffs Harbour up to Gympie. Looked pretty solid on the RAPIC

One Qantas and one Jetstar divert ex Brisbane. When I left the scheduled Jetstar arrival had been told that there wasn't a bay available for them.

Also had New Guinea and Singapore divert to Sydney.

Fun night

Great to hear from someone that gets to deal with it Thanks for the info. Does it take much rain to have the diversions from BBN? or is it saved for the major storms?

BN Centre also went "off the air" for a period of time.

We'll keep the rain water and send you the pipeline containing the "purified recycled water".
