It says Dum in Mirrie got 562mm yesterday?

Seems crazy, but nearby Finniss/Geriatric Park got 195mm and Charles Point got 185mm.

Everyone is reporting it as fact. Seems odd to me.
Maybe a big arse wave ended up in the gauge haha.

That area seems to get some high readings. I don't trust old mate at geriatric park, alwsys seems to have the most rain

The gauge at Dun-in-Mirrie is an automatic tipping bucket style gauge that is calibrated and checked by BOM. No human interaction required and I highly doubt whether Maxwell would have gone out in that weather to manipulate the readings.
The guts of the low sat directly over the top of Dum-in-Mirrie for about six hours and the actual system was small enough to have minimal impact on other gauges.

would have been nice in the daly catchment....

bl..dy oath. Hate seeing it wasted straight on the ocean.

For the three days of rain from the Low;

Dum-in-Mirrie - 622mm.
Wagait Beach - 545mm.
Charles Point - 229mm.
Geriatric Park - 269mm.

Glad I wasn't under it, would be like getting waterboarded!
