Just made it home, how did everybody else in brissy fair from the rain? Have to drive through Gumdale/Tingalpa to get home and many peoples house were under water some had new dams in their back yards.

Its amazing how complacent we get, I've seen the area near the BP on Wynnum road underwater in the past countless times, we get 15 years of fuck all rain so they build a footy club there....under water now..fucking idiots.

Down the road from me theres this little creek thats barly ever had a trickle of water running through it...now its about 4 meters deep across the road and some peoples houses are effected.

UNREAL!!! Wish I took pics.

We have had a pretty wet summer so far in Brissy but we've got more rain in 1 hour than all the days of rain in the last few months i reckon.

Still kicking myself I never took pics with my phone. I guess me and my workmate were too busy looking with our jaws dropped at all the water.

yep they make you jump throgh hoops about your pool fencing and then leave rapids in the storm drains unprotected

 

How true,

I used to hang in these tunnels as a kid and saw a few flash floods into the creek, luckily I was very close to the exit as you could hear it comming.

Crazy shit!!

It certainly did pelt down hard this afternoon. Lots of morons driving stupidly and without any lights on.

Ryan (555) rode his bike to work as usual today! I took pity on him and chucked it in the back of the van and dropped him home. :lol

Yep, I usually ride my Motor Bike to work. Lucky this week as the missus has being dropping me off as she has a company car for the week..

 

Stopped at some shops on the way home from work and the under ground carpark had water over your ankles, and that was with about 15 mins of rain!...

 

All my plants are loving it, friggin lawn has to be mowed every week, at the stage I'll have to purge water out of the pool.!

I reckon I've pumped 10 inches of water out of the pool in the last 4 days, god knows how much over flowed before I got home today

A long time ago I used to work in the city. (Delsound on Ann & Wharf St's) One day we had rain like today (much worse actually) and there was a torrent of water flowing down the stairwell to the car park! They had to move the cars out of there very quickly I can tell you. A lot of water damage. Took me a few hours to get home via the bus.

This is shailer road, normally there is a creek about 5 meters wide. I would say the deepest part was about 1 meter. Took a video to but its to big to upload.

After my roof incident last week (SES, energy company, local news team, etc), it was pissing down AGAIN on Monday night so much so that all of my gutters were overflowing, water was seeping out of the varandah roof and I could see it running down my internal walls.

 

1am - hoped up on the roof in the pouring rain to unclog gutters and put more tarps over areas still letting water in because of how heavy it was.

1:30am - go downstairs to get a drill to drill holes in the fibro ceiling of the varandah to drain water out of the cavity.

1:32am - open the 'basement' door (this is where all my tools and MDF, half completed projects etc are kept.

 

*SPLOOSH*

 

Shin-deep water... the outside walls were banking up with that much water that it found its way through inperfections in the mortar... I couldn't seal it (and it wont stop raining long enough for me to apply silicone).

 

2:15am - finish bucketing out water from the basement into the back lawn.

 

6am - get up to go to a funeral of a work colleage who passed away with no explanation last week (the day before the storms hit my house).

 

4pm - contact bank to start discussing options now that my mortgage just came unfixed and I'm up for an extra $450/month for this leaky shithole.

 

What a week. The rain can FO again for a while.
