Twin Rivers

A rare pair of atmospheric rivers have formed off Australia this week, channelling tropical moisture to both sides of the nation.



There's actually an atmospheric river in the United States that has its own name — 'The Pineapple Express' — that transports water from Hawaii all the way to California

Here in Australia, atmospheric rivers are less documented, but the phenomenon may be behind some of Australia's biggest floods.

BTW 305 GIGA litres of water overflowed the Shoalhaven's Tallawa dam this weekend, enough water to supply the residents for 20 years. The dam's spillway was topped by over 3 metres during the weekend's torrential rain
