Thread: Hey Blknight, Have you floated away yet?

Hope your all still above water but DON'T Send any rain to me give it to the others!

I knew there was going to be trouble when as I was putting my split rims together I had to finish the last one by lightning light and when I stacked it by torch light the bottom tyre on the stack was underwater..........

Ive lost about $8K worth of stuff mainly books that were stored in the shed in boxes on top of pallets and old baby stuff of alexs we havent used in years....

getting to he gap yesterday had me fording a truck in about 70-80cms of water over roads and bridges at some points.

It could have been a lot worse.

Sorry to hear that, it's really annoying losing books that you want to keep. Most people don't keep a list of all their books so you can't just go out and replace them. You normally realise it is gone when you need it in a hurry.

$8K is a hell of a lot of books, unless Alex had some pretty serious prams.

I'm sorry to hear about your books mate I lost a few magazines that I'd been hoarding - but nothing like that.

Hopefully the bedroom carpet will dry out before we go away

Sorry to here about the books, and the personal stuff is sad to loose too. Like you say, could always be a lot worse. Have some photo's hanging around work I'll stick them up later - quite dramatic.

I noticed the Amberly Rainfall data went from 55mm to 175mm in 50 minutes That's an inch every 10 minutes.

Bugger,8k worth of stuff doesnt sound good

The worst is when you loose stuff that cant be replaced

Hope things work out

Does anyone know real records?I will stand to be corrected,but i recon in 74 we had 1000mm of rain over a 24 hour period,just after a week of solid rain.

Now if that is correct,how would we go if that happened today

At least work would have been quiet today. We heard you guys were down for everything but the system I work on.
