A usual day at work and then left early to go and pick up Kate so we could drive to Noosa to celebrate our first wedding anniversary. All was going well until the last 20km into Noosa when we got caught in a massive storm. I've never driven in worse conditions, relying on the Satnav to tell us how many meters to the next roundabout etc.
The downpour has been reported here

AN incredible 100mm of rain has fallen in just one hour at Noosa, prompting fears of flooding.
Emergency services have again warned drivers to stay off the road unless absolutely necessary.
Heavy rain is expected to continue in the Noosa Heads area before contracting inland during the night.
The Bureau of Meteorology warned that, at 9:25 pm, very dangerous thunderstorms were detected on weather radar near Maroochydore and Noosa Heads.
These thunderstorms are slow moving.
Very heavy rainfall and flash flooding are likely.
90mm of rainfall has been recorded at Noosa Heads in the 1 hour to 9:30pm.
Upon arrival at the hotel we checked in and decided it was easier and safer to eat in the hotel restaurant. Food was lovely.
Here is our hotel
