Re: End of the drought???

Peter's prophetic prediction appears to becoming more and more of a reality.
Look at Victoria!! Ravaged by bushfire and drought.....now nearly the whole state is under water...with more rain to come.
Watch the weather patterns closely....they tell an amazing story....at the risk of being repetitive here is what I wrote earlier.
Back in June 2007 I posted above "End of the drought"
Are we witnessing the end of the worst drought in living memory?
Two weeks ago we saw the first of (three) a deep low pressure system off the NSW coast. That system brought wide spread rain and flooding and a week later it was followed by another low which brought more rain. Sydney has recorded 374mm for the month up to 18 June, the wettest June in 44yrs, and another even deeper low system is building off the NSW coast again today.....the 19th June.
And at the same time an upper trough of moist air is being carried from northern Western Australia across to the tropical areas of eastern Queensland. This trough over the northwest is generating unseasonable rain over the northern tropics.
According to Peter Andrews this could be a signal of the end of the current drought across much of Australia.
We have seen over the ensuing time since I posted that email that more rainfall has been spreading far and wide and that the areas of Queensland and WA are getting more and more rain.
As the landscape gets COOLER with all this rain, it saturates the ground and the landscape. And as we have stated elsewhere in this forum, rain tends to continue to fall on cool landscapes.
Cyclone Ellie has dumped a huge volume of rain in the north and WA is receiving similar amounts.
This is very similar to what happened in the 50's...a slow build up, over a number of years, of rainfall and rehydration. Finally, as the landscape filled with moisture and the soils were at their full capacity to take on any more water, the environment was suffiently cooler, that the next big rain event that came did not/could not infiltrate. Instead, it flooded across the landscape bringing total devastation.
We have cleared our landscape of the only protection it once had against the effects of a major flood and wet cycle...we have removed all of the vegetation. River banks denuded of vegetation by stock and willow removal will be savaged. Crop land fallow and empty of plants will be washed away. Salt will boil out of the ground making rivers, streams and town drinking supplies unusable.
THE IMPACT WILL BE DEVASTATING!!!!if it is indeed the same process as occured in the 50's.
In fact, it has the potential to be even worse!!
