BRB, floods

[aelia]

Uh, so this is the creek -lake now, rather - that runs behind our backyard - kind of creeped out now! Dad reckons that the water came right up the hill in the 1974 floods, but it didn't get to the house - fingers crossed that this is the case this time around. It's still got to rise another three or four metres before it comes near us, but damn, what is this bullshit?

Our suburb hasn't been officially warned yet, but the one close to us has been told they're on standby for evacuation, and there's a few nearby on the same - several of my friends have been told to get ready to move, kinda stalking them at the moment to make sure they're okay!

Eek - I hope it doesn't get any higher!

In the last few years we've started getting more apocalyptic-scale floods over here - must be all that global warming they keep talking about!

Good luck!

Keeping fingers crossed that the worst of the rain passes you by. That looks so scary!

Take care!

Whoa. I didn't know you were in Brisbane. Floods are seriously scary, I hope the water doesn't come any higher. We had some flooding here last autumn, but nowhere near as bad as you're having now. Or as many deaths, for that matter.

Uh-oh, I'm really hoping this doesn't get any worse for you! Being on standby for evacuation must feel awful, I wish you the best of luck!

Take care!

Yikes, that's really scary! Glad it's gone down some, but I hope the worst of the next rainfall misses you.

That's frightening! I hope the water receeds soon. Stay safe!

... That's terrifying, and yet your pictures are really, really pretty. In a 'production stills from a horror movie about dinosaurs' kind of way. I keep expecting a bunch of wet, frightened teenagers in a boat, and then some scaly monstrosity leaping out of the water to eat the one who thinks they're home free now.

Oh goodness, stay safe there! I saw a news report on it and I just hope it doesn't get any higher.

It's been a couple of days since you posted these photos so I just wanted to check in with you.

How are you guys doing now? Is your family OK?
