I got from the valley to home (bray park) along old northern road with no issues, on the radio at work they were goin on about how the valley was flooded we drove most of it and couldn't find a road under at 12pm today. There was more water flooding the roads at high tide yesterday then there was today at high tide. Lets see if i have to work tomorrow.

Oh if anyone on the northside wants somewhere safe to store there car send me a pm, no chance of getting flood waters where i am. Well most of brisbane would be under water if we did get flooded

[Smity42]

Success! Got home and house (and cars) are OK .

Low level brisge is out, upper brindge is split-laned.

Both under water now... Going to go for a ride and check it out.

I live near the river, but im about 6-7 m above bank level it is expected to only go about 1m above that so im not overly worried

Sounds like its going to hit a lot higher now! They just said 22m on the TV. I hope you guys are going to be OK, get your important stuff out and get to higher ground.

Afternoon all

Work's fine, house is fine, dads house (where I'm housesitting for around a month) is fine.

Chermside closed down, only the supermarkets are still open now. Gonna head down soon and get some supplies in case the supply route is out of action for the next few days/weeks

[Col-GTSX]

forget the shops

i went at midday and all the bread/milk and such items were gone... none left at all...

people were going crazy, the softdrinks isle and chips were empty and the line to get to the checkout was over an hour at midday...

i heard on the news most supermarkets are closing at 4pm due to lack of stock and personal staff needing to leave...

[Col-GTSX]

i have drawn inspiration to download the old kevin kostner movie "water world"

5% complete already, give it another 20 minutes and ill be getting educated on what may be next week...

[sneakey pete]

That was on TV on the weekend... premonition?

22M in ipswich would be absolutly insane.

We use to mock R33 owners.....

Petrie woolies still open and plenty of stock...

...unless you want bread, milk, eggs, meat, or vegetables.

Oh well, I have a loaf of bread in the freezer. NFI how old it is, but it'll do for sammiches for lunch

Pictures from the Pine River at the Petrie Crossing.

The bridge (that actually crosses the river) is way in the distance, past the "Petrie Mill" and speed limit signs visible in some pictures.

And a vid:

What's the road closures like?

I need to get to Nudgee tomorrow at 11....

Might have to look up the locacl council websites in the morning and find some open roads

[Smity42]

Miso, stay at home tomorrow if at all possible, it's going to be even worse.

Lots and Lots of roads closed.

[mosquitocoils]

Yeah not worth going anywhere.

I luckily work 5 minutes from where I live, and there's no creeks between those two points hahahaha

[Dan_B]

The call for work tomorrow is, try get in, but if water is on the road don't bother.

[Beelzebub89]

Just got home from work. Had to go back and sandbag the office and get all the files and computers out of there. I'm still in tomorrow at 6:30 though lol. See how we go tomorrow. My mate has had a look at the map and found that our place is right on the edge of the floodwaters so i might need a place to store the car lol.

That's what she said.

You can leave it here if you want

[Isola]

Yeah Colin, the inner west will be rooted if it goes 70's spec. Move your car if you can.

We all have to go in at 8 to lay tarps and put down more sandbags. I'm wondering if I'll be able to even get there if Kedron Brook keeps rising...

You have a bucket of water ready to splash on the driveway.

[Dan_B]

Sure do jez!

Colin if you want to store the GTR out of harms way drive over to mine, i got room

[Isola]

For a report that's been going all damn day, there's piss-all information. They just hit the repeat button on the dvd player...

[SABBAi]

If any of you guys need somewhere to store stuff, I have some room. We're not in an low lying area.
