Watch out guys.

[K6Thou]

The rain and wind we just had here is heading your way, lock up and keep safe eh..

[Hillsy]

Lock up? I've been riding in it.

Nice for a change to be honest.

[K6Thou]

Mate we had gusts of wind here upwards of 90 kph. Also more than 400 mm of rain up til 9 am and probably another 100 since.... Not really riding weather.

[Hillsy]

We haven't had much wind as yet (touch wood), but I got farkin saturated on the way home from work yesterday. Left the wet weather pants at home (stroke of genius) so it was nice and cool.......

[Tony Nitrous]

Just very windy and light rain now.

I'm going for a walk later to see if I can
find the dogs bowls, BBQ cover etc.

Seen a few pics posted and in some streets
the floods are worse than the big one a while
back due to the sheer volume of rain in such
a short time.

I love Qld, but buy a house on high ground !

[RevHead]

its just drizzle here now ,with wind nothing to worry about,just got afew palm branches down ,there 4m long each!

[nemo]

Just went for a drive to get Chloe some milk, and drove through town (Ipswich) all the shops are being evacuated, most sets of traffic lights are out, and the river is covering the train station..

[RevHead]

shit be safe guys,the rain and wind has picked up here pretty bad ,im worried about the 40ft palm tree in front of our house falling on to it

[Tony Nitrous]

Rain stopped but water levels still climbing.

Kedron Brook near me.

Less than a week a go Lenny (the dog!) and I walked across it,
crossing the 2 or 3m wide stream on the stepping stones......

[stiffsimon]

Hope all you guys are safe up there.I just watched the news and it looks scary

[TonyOW31]

i hope the rider who drowned while trying to ride his bike through flood waters wasnt one of ours

That happened at the end of my street, don't know what happened but the coppers have still got the road closed and are treating it as a crime scene.

[RevHead]

i saw on the news they got the bike out ,it looked like a naked cbr600 hornet i may be wrong ,but were they pulled it from the water were it was pumping hard

[Tony Nitrous]

Where I took the pics of Kedron Brook,
a woman took her 3 year old Son down to see
the flooded brook, rain had stopped.
Tree fell on them and killed her boy.

[latheboy]

Fuck guys, I haven't been watching the news so didn't know how bad it was.

Be safe and stuff

[El_Hefty]

[Shum]

Bloody scary how much water must be getting around up that way

[Gix11]

We had the lot. No power, no water, no phone and couldn't get out in either direction. Lasted until last night. Lucky I had a car battery, amp and speakers, an esky, some beer and some candles. Trees down all over the place. Got a shit load of work to do now, but at least now people don't think we're dead!

[Gix11]

This was our usual road out:

http://www.streetfighters.com.au/attachment.php?attachmentid=3509&d=1359615433

The flow was so fast it was like watching the conveyor belt at the end of Bruce Forsyth's Generation Game (that's for the Poms). A whole tree would float past, then a burnt out car, then a bin, then something with legs. Was quite fun for a while. We could only get there and watch thanks to the 4x4. Small fallen trees are no challenge!

[BANDITROD]

holy fuck i was wondering how you were going

[ozzy1100]

no fun at all Si.... no fun at all

[TonyOW31]

Heard a bit more news on the guy on the bike who was killed at the end of my street. Apparantley the water was only about six inches deep when he rode through, but a prime mover coming the other way sent up a big wave that pushed him over the edge and in to the torrent, that's why the police had it cordoned off as a crime scene.

[ozzy1100]

fuck.....

[MONO]

Yes have been trying to contact you to see how you were getting on Si.
