Brisbane is wet

Very!

Will rain all night..

SEQ Water releasing water from Wivenhoe tonight.. trying to avoid a repeat of 2011 down the road.

Wivenhoe Dam: Flood releases to commence at 10pm | Seqwater

 

I am feeling the wet weather all day.
Trying to stay calm and have a corona and lime.

 

Significantly wetter once you cross the (hard) border into BCC.

GC was pretty light, Logan medium, Brisbane Heavy.

God knows what it is like North of the river. Sandbag anyone?

 

Yep, South of Beenleigh is much less today.. They built a wall

My OP was the rainfall until 9am.. here it is since 9am

I mean anybody can look this up now on BOM, but it's always good to record when you look back

 

Severe flooding at the bottom of the Toowoomba range is not a good sign, as it ends up going east into the Brisbane river.

 

Just saw that Pomona (Sunshine Coast) had 1.2 m of rain. Yes 1.2 metres….

 

Read it first as 1.2mm. Mornings and all. Was like, WTH is wrong with the Sunny Coast

 

Just arrived back from Rocklea after a quick look ,at least this isn't as bad as the lead up in 2011 as the main dam in the Brisbane Valley is just under 90% so hopefully even with all the run off low lying properties from rocklea then the river front at yeronga into west end will be safe..
I'm still in a flood class action from 2011 ,so I hope your insurances are with Suncorp because in 2011 that company went out of their way to help,the company we were insured with didn't cover that type of flood and said no can do and we we're paid zero..
Good luck.

 

We recently had discussions about Stones corner ( Brisbane thread ). . Some said it is less affected by flood, rejuvenation of storm water and open creek areas good etcetera.

This morning one person lost in flood waters in Stones Corner !!

Very sad news.

 

What?! That's sad

 

I’ve been telling everyone to stick to QLD insurers where possible. They seem to be the best in class. Suncorp especially so. I hope your thing gets resolved soon. Good waves your way

 

An SES worker has also died during a flood rescue ... stay safe people

 

Those are the true heroes. Bushfires or floods, these people put their lives at risk to save others. Under appreciated selfless heroes. They restore my hope in humanity.

We are almost at the end of it. Should start easing later today.

 

Anyone that invests in the Brisbane flood zone know the realities and the Banks they're happy to lend in those flood zones ..
So the only way is insurance and let someone else deal with the problem..

 

Soggy one day, flooded the next.

 

Parts of Oxley near the Oxley Creek are going under.

 

Now now.

I think GC is being spared

 

A mate just had to rescue their mum by canoe, 200mm through the bottom of the house at Oxley, It went to 1.2m there in 2011.

 

And the banks are busting of the Brisbane river.
