BRB, floods

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!

... 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.

Heh, well, there were a number of (unconfirmed, and then scarily confirmed) of bullsharks roaming around the flooded streets in the city, so I guess that counts?

I'll have to put up a photo of the river in full force, that was scary in a really awesome kind of way - I've never seen that amount of water there, and the sound of it was amazing

A friend of mine posted (on FB) images of a water height marker literally disappearing over 3 days. That was damn scary to look at.
