Toowoomba and local area floods

[Harry]

i guess every one knows what has happened here in the toowoomba area, with 8 dead and 72 missing. . . Yesterday our small creek runnig past the house swelled to 55+ meters wide with rapids kicking up to 2 meters high. Not good, i hope your all ok

[scotty]

not good to here mate, the brissy river just broke and there evacing the cbd atm.

[skoerbin]

sad to hear about everything thats going on at the moment. i just got evacuated from work in strathpine! if your on facebook Queensland Police Service has up to the minute updates.

and remember, stay safe and stay out of flood water!

[lurch]

No dramas on my side of town Harry. I had to go into the CBD for work straight after the water went down. Drove down Herries and across to Russell via Victoria St and was absolutely gobsmacked. We dont have much to complain about compared to the poor bastards at the bottom of the range though.

Hope all is well with the members in our area also.

Lurch one of my mates was havin a beer in the national hotel in russell street,after spotting the water and racing back inside he made two trips up the stairs to get women out, the water was chest hight in minutes , the pub collapsed.

Hope all you blokes, blokettes and your bikes are spared the worst of the flooding.
Darwin is being hammered too, but it is the normal wet season deluge.
