I got banned for 24hrs from FB for saying that I'd love to cut their hands off and shove them up their arsehole. Karma is a bitch with me, because I pay back with interest!

Perhaps they won't get too far, with the present road closures. All the best with it.

Hope everyone has a relaxing night.. lady at work has floods to her back fence, and lots to come apparently.

Rain has stopped/eased this morning in most areas, but the river isn't expected to peak for another day or two. Then the mud army will spring into action.

[Fizzie]

Just heard from son at Nundah - sun is now out (after ~750mm in 4 days) so it's going to get nice & steamy!

The head waters around Lismore, had over 700mm over night and that will just hammer the area.

& some of the rain has now suddenly started swirling around & heading NW from where it was May not be all over after all

Well thank you Mr. I'm Full Of Good News. 

Friggin humid outside at the moment.

If comes back around, we're good to go a second round.
I'm thrilled with how well the ol Ponderosa coped with 630mm in such a short time.

Sad for folks being flooded of course.

Yea, thanks, Fizzie! We had blue sky up until your post!

[Fizzie]

You're welcome!

Looks like it's eased again now, although Stanthorpe & maybe Warwick may get some?

[Bird]

That's the Maccas in Lismore. 

Also a bit more perspective it is about 700m from the closest section of the Wilson River. 

[Foo]

Unless you've driven through Lismore, you can't really grasp how bad it is and the actual depth of the water.

Foo,
I remember the 74 flood, I'll never forget it, the sight, the smell and I know this one is far worse by far.
Friends who live and work there are numb, I'm chatting with them either on the phone or through messenger.

[MarkGU]

Water is now across the new highway exit & entry at Ferry Park at Maclean.

We are now completely cut off.

I know it probably doesn't count for much but, to all of the Myswag members impacted but the recent flooding we are thinking of you and hope you all remain safe.
