Yeah, you tropic dudes understand water. We have average yearly rainfall of 55 inches. We've had 32 inches since January 1, the waterways just can't cope like they do up north and the soil isn't quite as leeched either, it is completely supersaturated and all rainfall is now runoff. I lived in Darwin for a while and was amazed how water from a monster storm ( inch an hour rain) just disappeared as if it would never flood, but conversely waterways grew in minutes...very scary in little boats with our shoe leather friends watching and waiting for lunch.
