I was about to ring you, are you fine and Lionel?

Good to know that you are OK Paul, from what hear down here sections of Bundy have only just had power restored.

I've been living in Rockhampton for the last 7 months and if Brisbane get the amount of rain we have received in the last 48 hours I'm not sure who Maurice Blackburn are going to sue next.

If the rain hits Brisbane the same way as it has done here and most of the qld east coast, Vegas is screwed. Wivenhoe Dam would not have made a scrap of difference, like in 2011.

Anyway, Brisbane's turn is eminent so time will tell. Those people who are preparing as if Brisbane will flood again, like in 2011, are wise.

Uncle Ho, I hope anyone you know there, that is close to the water, have a plan.
.5-.7m above the high tide tomorrow, add the wavesfrom a 'light' onshore, and it will be a bit damp.

Andrew, the powers that be are a little more proactive this time. Even letting bookoo water out of North Pine! Wonders will neve cease.

Take care all, see you on the other side of it.
Dave.

G'day Barefoot Dave

The wife has some dog breeder and Facebook friends up there and we sold a Blue Cattle Dog pup to the owner of the Bargara pub a few years ago which he promptly named "Tractor"

cheers

I did see on the news tonight with a few comments regarding releases from the North Pine and Wivenhoe, plus one chap in Auchenflower stacking up his furniture. Both smart moves in my opinion.

By the way, my experience was pretty good, parts of Rockhampton lost power, water and mobile phone reception. I only lost mobile phone reception and therefore Internet access. No big loss really.

Apart from some snoozer stealing the fire extinguisher from the back of my work ute, it's actually turning out to be a good time to spend with the family

Heavy rain and wind here ALL night. Irrigation pump will be underwater again, fences will be flattened, orchard trees waterlogged. This is three years in a row for us. March 2012 flood was worse here than 2011. Now this.
