The Lakes filled up so fast that they turned everything else into a Lake.

That's not good news Ken.

Where my wife works (St peters high school maitland) will be full inundated by morning - the levee is being breached now. no work for her this week, except massive cleanup of her classrooms, and office (both on ground floor with a store room below ground level). Thankfully she brought home her laptop. All her own personal resources at work will be lost . HISTORY IS GREAT TO WATCH BUT A BUGGER TO BE A PARTICIPANT!

I took the generator from my mums this morning (her power went online at 2 am) over to Killingworth to my brother and sister in laws and got their freezer back on line - they will be without power for at least another 24 hours.

I also hope that the families of Andrew and Mike are OK, along with all the other riff-raff on the central coast (no not you Rod )
