[Ric]

Glad to hear you are safe and well Suzy.

Stay safe Jen, I hope the floods down your way don't get as bad as predicted.

Cheers

Good to see you got out of it without too much grief....at least the power will be restored soon enough.

Glad to have you back

Jen, if you want a lend of a sub for the flood, let me know. I'll lend you mine

Stay safe.

Thank you so much everyone for all the well wishes, and for caring. what a great bunch of friends I have on here . It's good to be back!

I finally got power back on day 9 (yesterday).

Jen, I really do hope your house doesn't get affected, you never know, you may be fortunate and miss it "by that much" like me.

Mario, yes, that area got a scary amount of water. I thought I posted a pic of where it came up to the lights where Bunnings is, but I didn't. So here it is, as well as a couple of other pics of some of the mess that was left behind after the water receded.

Suzy, isn't this internet amazing to see all these images from all over the flooded places
And all at the stroke of a key on our desktop or laptop
We did not see half as much information or images in 1974.

Thanks for sharing
I hope all is back to normal soon
cheers

Amazing pics Suzy! Thanks for filling us in and glad to hear you are all well and were spared the worst of it even though I could imagine it would have been a very stressful time.

Cheers Daniel.

Suzy,

You had posted that picture but I just didn't recognise it because of all the water!! I also noticed the water line on the hedges at Maccas and see that it is all fenced off at the moment, as is the one at Oxley.

But they weren't the only Maccas affected in our area. My wife tried to get me a Big Mac at Sunnybank but was told she couldn't because of the floods!! Apparently there was no lettuce to be had in Brisbane so no Big Macs!! Isn't that what the Air Force is for, to chopper in some lettuce and special sauce, not to mention the sesame seed buns in times of need??!!

Suzy, we're having some clear skies at the moment so get the scope out, enjoy the night sky and try not to think of the weeks gone by.

Best wishes,
Mario

Suzy,

Thanks for the first hand info and taking the time to share. I can only watch with awe and dread the destructive power of nature at its worst. It worries me the frequency of such events around the globe (Brazil for one).
Luckily you were spared the worst as your home is at a higher level. However, being without power for any length of time is a real nuisance. We tend to take all our utility services for granted.
All the best.

Rob
