Spoke too soon. Power is out and looks like it won't be back for some time.

Just heard Sydney and surrounds are looking at 100+ mm tomorrow. We haven't had more than 2 mm down in Melbourne for months...would you believe? Back yard is the same colour as my hefeweizen at the moment.

Anyone heard from QldKev? I heard Bundy was declared a state of emergency today.

Just been in contact with Qldkev, he is safe and well.

Hi Benj!

Wow some erosion there Doug, hope it's not too bad. Heard on the scanner that Imbil is cut off and a local woman went into labour around 4pm local doctor attending, lucky.

I got up early to keep in touch with brother in UK and I see that they may have to close the Pacific and New England highways. Great end to a long weekend. Maybe I could load kegmate onto a trolley and ply the traffic lines with 20 bucks a pint. And curry. Yessssss. Evil laugh.

Shit thats no good Rowy hope there was no damage.

 

[Rowy]

Few tree's down around the place Lakey but so far so good. Like you its hard to juggle work and keeping an eye on your own joint

The really heavy stuff seems to be sweeping over the Inland at the moment, Armidale, Narrabri etc - (check BOM Radar) Punkin and crew were heading down this way to Forster for the long weekend, hope they'll get home ok.

 

[hellbent]

Jeez you blokes up north are just recovering from the last big one, now this!!! Keep safe guys, wishing you well.

There has been a LOT of rain (300-400mm) in the mountains west of Brisbane. That water is headed toward Ipswich and eventually Brissy. For example, the dam near my house (Moogera) is almost 4m over the spillway. That water feeds into the Bremer.

I hope the Ipswich brewers are okay. I know a few were affected quite badly last time. At least this time hopefully won't be as high and you have a bit more time to prepare.

Texted my brother to see if he's ok (he's Tamborine sort of area) after hearing they got caned on the news, his response: "Everything is broken".

A few big trees downed at my local park this morning.
