Kilcoy in flood

[jjjnettie (Jeanette)]

Yep, we've had our share of rain. The ONLY access to town, the Kilcoy Bridge is well and truly under. When I took the photos they were still allowing 4wd's to cross, but the SES were discussing the situation while i was there, and the road was about to be closed completely.
Local schools are closed and my boys are firmly ensconced in front of the television and the wii.
And the rain is still falling.

well at least your clouds are giving a reason not to do astro Nice pics of the weather and flooding JJJ.

Since posting the images, we've had constant heavy rain. The flooding is much worse. All the low areas in town are under water. More rain on the way.

[DavidU (Dave)]

That's not good at all jjj.

[jjjnettie (Jeanette)]

And to make things worse, the Wii is broken. OMG, what will the boys do??

A broken Wii that sounds painfull

[jjjnettie (Jeanette)]

took another drive around town, serious flooding now. Many many people are stranded in town. Cars, trucks and caravans are parked every where.
Yowie Park, the Footy fields and the grazing land behind it, flooded all the way to Somerset.

Could be worse. It might be a broken Wii-er.

When I drove up to Yarraman/Blackbutt on the weekend we had to go through creeks upto 400mm deep. We where a little worried we would get back to Roma. But it was nothing compared to what you guys have had in the last 24 hours or so. Keep safe everyone.

way to much water there jj

very sad to see so much rain at this traditionally dry time of year.
The stone fruit crop should be kicking in but its barely started
The macca trees flowering for next year should be well advanced
but many petals are falling to the ground unpollinated .

looking at the rainfall records for the year with the 400mm or so over
over the last week or two,, we must be up around the 2 metre mark
or very close to it.

Stay safe jjj.

You Queenslanders love that rain.

Keep dry.

Cheers Kev.

G'day Ron, JJJ. Tipped out 150mm so far today and more coming. The back creek is running so fast cattle can't cross it.
It'll take forever to dry out but boy, what a start to summer - the official wet season.
We've had about 6 months rain in 6 weeks here - and that is during our "normal" dry season.
Even the kangaroos are complaining.

Photo's taken this afternoon.
People are driving around town rubbernecking. Sometimes singly, sometimes in convoy.
LOL Can't complain, I was doing the same.
