Re: Qld Flooding - general chat and stuff.....
Anyone who has actually received the Emergency Alert messages - feedback would be great - stuff like how understandable are the voice messages. They are a nightmare to do as we have to type out what we need the voice to say, and it comes down to things like "äntisipate" spelt with an S instead of C as it has to be phonetic. and six ay em instead of "6am". Its such a new thing that this is a really steep learning curve with the system. Any feedback welcome :thumbup:

Re: Qld Flooding - general chat and stuff.....
The eerie thing today is the silence. Normally leaving work Lutwyche Road is busy even at 6.30am, three lanes of traffic both ways, about a 20 minute walk. Today I reckon maybe 6 cars the whole way.
And its silent. Totally silent except for birds. I reckon I can hear every bird for miles. No traffic. Even at night its not this quiet. |

EMQ will be making voodoo dolls of her by tonight :rofl: |

Power figures have gone up slowly overnight. They are going to cut just before inundation so people stay on as long as possible.
