Thread: Bit wet, eh

We've had 680 MM ( 27 inches ) since 3am this morning !
Mackay is under water.
People have been advised to stay indoors because the crocs are
swimming around in the suburbs.
We got out to Sarina this arvo and got groceries. No milk or bread left.
The roads are closed now tho and they are predicting another 150mm
tonight.
In the last 6 weeks we have had 1240 mm.
Glad I dont have to go out into the yard on a regular basis

Cheers, I think.

PS: Is it raining at Maree ?

Where we are, ( 40k out of Mackay ) only 200 m from the beach, its slightly elevated and very sandy underneath. Water builds up but drains away very quickly. The roads out, flood and are cut very quickly, except
for Landrovers.
Its still raining. We had very little wind but the downpour lasted for hours on end.
Harro, we had plenty of bread and milk in the big freezer. My concern was for frozen pea's and potato's, fortunately we were able to stock up.
The little bird has mashed potato and pea's everynight for dinner so she
would have thought her throat was cut if we ran out and I would have copped it bigtime. Fording flooded, croc infested creeks just has to be done in a crisis.
She also likes bread and honey sandwiches for lunch and has numerous cups of tea each day. White with two, thanks.

I feel for those who went under tho.
My old Ford was parked at the airport and apparently it was submerged.
Wont be able to get into town untill next week to recover it.
Probably take it straight to the tip and I bet I will have to pay !
Fortunately the family Mooney is out of town and dry.
Cheers.
