Along under the Story bridge the water is up into the park and lapping around the old dry dock which is a good 4 or 5 metres from usual levels near the ferry dock , with the water coming down and the kings due Wednesday and Thursday it's going to be a major problem although atm it's all guesses as to the real flood height , the 74 was dirty filthy clean up going on for days and this one wont be any better imho
Happily we are nice and high but of course heaps of water running across the sodden dirt I suggest anyone in doubt pack and move now as when it rises it rises terrbily fast > remember 1974 folks |

If anyone in Brisbane needs a safe dry place for a couple of days. I can probably put up a small family if need be.
Pets Welcome. Don't know if my 3 cats will be so welcoming though. PM me if you need help

Im hoping that some of our work gets sent up to help Energex out getting eveything back up and running again. Hoping more if it does happen that I can be on one of the crews.
At least would be doing some thing to help. |

There was an update on the QPS page (facebook) advising that Energex will only be cutting power if it is ABSOLUTELY necessary, ie if it's inundated with water and only while it's flooding.
Waiting for the water to keep rising at Ipswich, rain seems to have eased off a fair bit and all bom websites indicate it's eased off too... ![]()

Words cannot describe what the family of the poor little bloke who was lost out of a rescue boat at Marburg must be going through.
Being a parent now, my own daughters little face flashed before my eyes when I heard this just now. Apparently the family was being rescued and he was lost overboard, his little body found some time after. Thoughts with the family in such a tragic time. RIP little bloke. |

my parents lost their home today in the floods. i was able to get my family out with only minutes to spare. thankfully the community jumped in risking their lives to help save some of our stuff, one is even a forum member. i cant thank the people enough for what they did.
im not in tootoomba, im in morayfield a mere 40k's north of brisbane CBD, it took less then a hour for the water to go from normal flow to complete flood. and as typical as it is we were the only house in the street effected apart from some wet carper under the door across the street. ![]() ![]() ![]() the water ended up over the wing on the laser. i have photos but are low light and ill get more tomorrow during the clean up. 10 inches of water through the house, the whole town was under water, the next door neighbors got air lifted out by helicopter, i plowed the LTD through the water to get out. only just made it too. but thankfully we are all ok. i hope no one else had as bad luck as we did today we did get the emergency sms which i got leaving my driveway to make the 500m drive to my parents where i found the water already over the foot parth... they need more warning on things like this, perhaps a sms stating this might happen, please be prepared to leave on short notice

That's bad news huggiebear, sorry to hear about your parents home. At least both your families are ok.
For those affected like huggiebear, it must be a real sinking feeling to go back in and find everything you have lost.

My prayers go out to everyone affected.
Growing up in the Philippines, where it floods almost every time it pours (and is therefore "just another thing"), I know exactly what QLDers are going through and I'm always saddened to hear when lives are lost.

I have already posted here but just want to keep the offer out there. I am on the Northside of Brisbane ..Chermside, If any AFF members need a dry roof for a few days I can help. We have 3 cats (Indoor Cats) and we are open to fostering other cats or small dogs if required. We can probably accomodate a small family of 3-4
PM me if you need help

My much beloved XP Coupe is now sitting under a few metres of water. The roads were blocked by the authorities before I could get all the workshop and office equipment up and out.
