Re: Hope everyone in Brisbane is OK
No Im bloody not at 0344 sat with 2 scared kids and a petrified Dog. Jeez this 3 hour+ intense storm makes you realise why the ancients thought there was a god. The walls are rattling - not the windows...the walls.
I of course maintain my composure and know that this is just the result of supercharged electrons and its not the monster in the wardrobe. The Monster in the wardrobe makes an entirely different noise. :scared:

I did think about starting up the PC at 3:30am to have a whinge about the storm . But what with trying to calm the dog down and the frequent power cuts, I couldn't be arsed, so i just sat out the back and watch the light show.
It was amazing to look on the way into the CBD this morning, lots of areas flooded, lots of creeks have burst their banks.

The water supply in our area reached full levels during the last heavy rains of a month ago. Enough water to last a full year even if not another drop fell apparently.
