January 10, 201115 yr comment_494391 Holy heck Trev i hope you guys get through it ok. Creek is down at the moment, lets see what another 6m in the river does though. Another thing I have been thinking about is that they dredged the brisbane river from Ipswich to who knows for gravel in the early 90's, I wonder if that will reduce the flood levels. Report
January 10, 201115 yr comment_494400 I have just been looking at photos and videos. My prayers are with all of you guys who are up there in this disaster, and that all are safe now Report
January 10, 201115 yr comment_494404 sorry, my bad. Yeah Trev, that car is on the back cover of todays CourierMail.... That car show's what water can do (it has deskinned the whole car & even tore LHF tyre from the rim)...... It's amazing that there were not more deaths, nothing could stop that water!!! Not even the "Unbreakable Hilux" (refer to the above-mentioned pic in CourierMail) Our thoughts are with the families of the lost and missing from this disaster. Report
January 10, 201115 yr comment_494416 I'm starting to pray right now for everyone in the Lockyer Valley because they're gonna need all the help we can offer......... The latest toll is unfortunately 8 lives lost and 72 missing. As for "Mother Nature" WE'VE HAD ENOUGH, NO MORE RAIN FFS Report
January 10, 201115 yr comment_494423 My place went under yesterday, my sheds are destroyed >| . 8 confirmed dead now$, 72 still missing. Never seen anything like it in my life. Everyone take care, and my thoughts go out to the people affected. Report

January 11, 201115 yr comment_494427 Yep we're near Hattonvale. The yard is soggy as. We've had to dig some drainage out front, but otherwise all good. I love rain, but this is ridiculous. Really feel for those at Grantham... Report

Really feel for those at Grantham... Yeah same here mate. I've had a few drinks at Grantham Hotel a few years back, nice old pub, was unbelievable to see it on the news last night getting washed away. Stay safe up there in the Lockyer and I hope your parents place isn't too badly damaged. Report

Thanks Rob, cars fine, but welders, power tools, thousands in hand tools, car parts, my boat project, mowers etc, fishing/camping gear everything was under almost 3 foot of water. SPEW!!! Could have been worse. Report
