RAIN RAIN GO AWAY COME AGAIN ANOTHER DAY

Jan 11, 2011 16:55

In 1974, Brisbane flooded pretty horrendously - a pub situated a good 15m above the tide mark was serving people that rafted or canoed up to their third story balcony - and back then the peak was at 5.45m. It's predicted to be greater than that this time - though not so bad as the 8m+ floods of the 1800s - and everywhere is cut off from everywhere ( Read more... )

Even crazier because it's the T-Bar. SO FAR ABOVE SEA LEVEL. Crazy, crazy, crazy.

I've been meaning to ask you whether you've been affected by it or are close to any affected areas? I hope not!

Keeping my fingers crossed that Mother Nature calms down soon.

I'm fine :) My suburb isn't under any immediate threat. We're right next to the flood zone but so far, so good.

Ugh, this happened to us in November 2009. Luckily our estate didn't get flooded, since Cork is the practically the hilliest place in Ireland and we were situated on one of those hills, but we didn't have any water for a few weeks. I remember not really caring (I'm a heartless bastard) until I found out the library/archives in the UCC where they keep all the old, historic books got flooded. Then I had a little weep (I just love books so much *sob*)

Hopefully you'll stay out of the worst of it. *hug*
