It's been a damp few days...

[alwaysjbj]

Just in case it's reached the international news, we are fine here... a little cut off from the rest of the world as roads leading out of the area are flooded, but we're fine. Other areas of Brisbane and surrounding suburbs (including Caboolture which is just down the road from me) haven't fared so well.

Mefiant, how are you doing down in floodsville, I mean Tweed?

According to our rain gauge we've had over 400ml of rain in the last 3 days.

Thanks! We're fine here...nice high ground.

Unfortunately the main road out of my area runs next to the river and goes through a low section that floods easily...I'm not even trying to go anywhere.

Heavens no! Stay safe, warm, and dry.


:::hugs you:::

Look at it this way . . . plenty of time for you and your son to bond over that video game ;)

[alwaysjbj.livejournal.com]

LOL True.

Yikes! Stay dry!

[alwaysjbj.livejournal.com]

Yep...our property is quite sloped and the house is at the top of the hill, so we're fine.

Hasn't reached the UK main news, but I knew there was the possibility of flooding in your area from another Lj friend. Glad you're OK!!

[alwaysjbj.livejournal.com]

Yep, fine here...I ust hope the roads are clear by Friday when my husband gets back from Perth...or he may have to stay at the airport. lol

eek -- I'm usually right on top of the international news -- how did I miss this?!?

[alwaysjbj.livejournal.com]

LOL I guess poor old Brisbane isn't important enough to make the world news.

[ozma914.livejournal.com]

No -- I checked, it's there. I just haven't had much time to watch the news lately, so I missed it. Jeez, first it's fires all over down there, and now floods!

Sends you a virtual Big Brolly. Wellies might be useful too...

Ouch... I didn't know it was that bad.
Good to hear you're well.
