Not good.

BMW86 · 01-10-2011, 08:43 PM

I've been following it on the news as well. It's bizzare how much rain we are getting. My thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their families and those that are still missing. Let's hope this rain buggers off but apparently the worst is yet to come tomorrow afternoon!

Zuzu · 01-10-2011, 08:50 PM

Bizzare it is..
Funny enough, on that video clip at 2.45, after they watched at least six cars being washed away, the guy videoing remarks " There's a wheelie bin"...
LOl..

We've just been told to put all our valuables on our desks and go home, where that's possible

amk2912 · 01-10-2011, 09:46 PM

To all our QLD buddies - good luck and keep safe.

My son inlaw was told the same thing..He is a doctor at the Royal Brisbane Hospital..
Scary, as they are closing down the hospitals..

It is just starting to pour here again - though the tide is retreating - so hopefully it stayed that way. We had water 5 metres away from my shop this morning. The road around us are closed...

hope everyone is faring well in qld. going by these 2 pics from woollies i'd have to agree that it's chaos:

hopefully I can get home from the office, most of the western suburbs roads are closed down I think and that massive garden place next to west side BMW have sent an email out saying they have stopped trading until probably Thursday.

Orlin · 01-11-2011, 12:35 AM

I saw the Maccas at Oxley was already flooded on my way to the office at 8am and it has not stopped raining since. Lets hope Craig can get home.

x5mad · 01-11-2011, 12:45 AM

Got woken up way too early this morning and greeted by a panic stricken employee with the power is out and the roads are about to flood. Had to close the surgery today unfortunately and looks like possibly tomorrow as well.

MarkFC · 01-11-2011, 01:35 AM

I live on the top of a hill in Sunshine Coast hinterland and had to deal with water at home yesterday and today in places I have never seen before. Went down to office in maroochydore and it's a lucky dip as to what roads will be open, luckily my other car is a Prado, the bmw would disappear in some of the potholes near home.
We were driving around those roads in Toowoomba only 10 days ago, hard to comprehend the damage and potential loss of life.
I have nothing to complain about, family is safe and secure.
Stay safe everyone and all the best for the next few days.

sparoz · 01-11-2011, 02:04 AM

Biggest concern is supplies at the moment... highway's cut at Caboolture and Gympie. Brisbane's in a panic at the moment and looks like we are not getting any delivery, anytime soon - I will be starting to run out of meds in a couple of days time and Brisbane is expecting to be worst on Thursday.

Jeef Beef · 01-11-2011, 03:30 AM

Damn hope you guys up in QLD are okay and don't suffer any extensive property damage

MarkFC · 01-11-2011, 03:35 AM

That's for sure Sparoz, sorry to hear about you running low on stock. As an accountant, I don't have to worry too much about supplies like you. We did shut the office today at lunch and sent everyone home.

On the home front, I was handed a list of veges and other bits and pieces to stock up on yesterday, just never now what will happen when supply lines are cut, the Prado has nearly 180 ltrs of diesel in it also.

Orlin · 01-11-2011, 03:54 AM

I live 4 stories up so I should remain dry, my business on the other hand is a different story

sparoz · 01-11-2011, 04:47 AM

Just a last note for the Brisbane guys before the power shut down at 7am. Stay safe guys, and hope everyone and family come out of Thursday unscathed.

BBK · 01-11-2011, 05:22 AM

There is a power shutdown? We were quite busy today since everyone was out getting groceries... no problems to report on except a leaky roof...

Yogijet · 01-11-2011, 05:25 AM

wow. keep safe guys.

Good luck buddy - stay safe. It's crazy - we've got destructive bush fires raging south of Perth with loss of houses and other property.
