so why weren't we warned ?
Is this argument for real ? 1890, 1974 and also several other very high flooding ain't sufficient warning ?

Traditional wet season, extremely positive SOI ('big' little girl), series of low pressure cells off coast, active Walker and Hadley cells, very warm ocean temperatures to 200 m. BOM was expecting this - you can lead an ass to water, you can't make it drink. The blame game has begun.
