The weatherman says no Almanac today

It will take me a bit of time to catch up after the biggest, wildest storm I can remember.

I thought it was a bit damp and breezy through the night:

Coffs Harbour and Bellingen districts have been declared natural disaster areas. [Pictured: debris banks up against Bellingen bridge.]

"... more than 120 millimetres [4.7 inches] fell in just over an hour."

"Winds of more than 120 kilometres an hour ..." [75 mph] [The Bureau of Meteorology in a forecast mentions wind gusts of 40 per cent higher.]

Bellingen is flooded (as usual). Evacuations underway as NSW floodwaters rise.
