Rain, rain go away!

Sally, this is terrible - I hope you have a plan - in case it keeps raining - this is a lot of water and could really be dangerous.

Wow i think i had best ring my three girls up there in Brissy and see how they are.As you know Rose is only a few Klms from you. I love the rain but sometimes... enough is enough. Hope you spend your day busy sewing :)

sally, still raining up here also, crazy taxi driver huh? will show hubby pics. thanks for update. got friends at burpengary also.

Hope it stops raining soon. A good day to stay in.

Sally, you stay inside and play.lol
We have crazies here in Tamworth who let their kids play in the drains when we get massive rain. Makes you wonder what cocopop packet they came out of. Stay safe. helen

It is miserable isn't it, it is making me so depressed When will the rain stop. To think 18 months ago everyone was panicking about the water shortage, and the government put us all on level 6 water restrictions, I could have told them it would rain again. I have not heard that they have lifted the water restrictions but they have let some water out of the damn.

Wow, makes you want to just crawl back into bed and stay there. Hope you used your time catching up on fun stuff!

I am so sorry, I feel your pain. We've had to deal with flooding around us before. I've had water in my basement a few times, my finished basement. It is not fun- but life goes on.

I hope the rain will soon subside for you. When it rains heavily here in SA, our garage often gets flooded. We are also having water restrictions but had good rain overnight. My roses are looking wonderful this morning.

Sally, Rose is fine they have moved about 2klm more west at Naranga near the BP servo at oakyflat rd? Very wet but still got dry feet, Am still trying 2 other Daughters

My Aunt and Uncle lived on the Ohio River and had their home flooded many times. They did have a plan and installed a hook in the ceiling and would pull their grand piano to the ceiling and then move every thing else upstairs. Each time they would mark the water level on a door frame and pull off the wet walls. They never got used to the inconvenient but they liked where they lived in an old Victorian House with 20 foot (6 meters) ceilings. Hope this never happens to your neighborhood again. Waiting for the water to go down must have been very stressful.

Oh Dear! I am so glad you did NOT get flooded out.
I haven't been watching the news so had no idea about the rain up there.

Now I am wondering if not getting Flood coverage on our insurance for our new home is possibly not the best thing to do. It's over $3,000 (yearly) just for the flood cover and another $1,500 (yearly) for ordinary cover.
It's no wonder people don't buy flood coverage insurance, but imagine if you lost everything, how devastating that would be!

I will pray for everyone to be OK, that is the main thing.
Hugs and blessings, Meganne

Sally Emma is fine but they had to tie down their cement water tank that has floated out of the ground nearly hitting the house. Otherwise all ok,

I've just seen the early news. I am hoping that none of our Cute Members have been too badly affected in as much as having their homes awash with muddy water and their cars in water up to the wheeltops or the door handles. I was stunned .... 300mm in 24 hours, and another place had a month's worth of Spring Rain in one night!!!
South Australian farming land is looking towards having good rains, too, later in the week, but I hope we don't have the flood devastation that is occurring along the eastern seaboard.
How terrible if a sewing person had her home and sewing room, machines and fabric, flooded with mud or a wood turner had his shed, wood and machinery flooded out or a knitter had all her wool stash soaked in reddish/brown water.
And as for children playing in drains during the floods!!!.... that really scares me, not only for them being swept away and killed but for coming face to face with a scared snake, one of those Queensland specials, and being bitten.
I came home from my sewing lesson on a real high, having achieved for once, and I've been plunged into deep despair for my fellow-Aussies who are battling Spring Rains right now. I know that with good old Aussie-spirit they will take it in their stride and work through it all but........ I do feel so badly for them right now.....

I have been watching the news on T.V. See you have had a lot at Kallanger etc .I hope they will send some of the water to our dams here in Toowoomba !!!Our dams are only 20% --Sandra

I hope by now it has quit raining in your area. Flooding is a very serious situation. It is scary. Hope you and your family are all safe. Hugs, Mary

Many different comments already to the degree of water. I have never had to suffer any of this kind of tragedy - thank goodness. Hope everyone makes out OK.
Even here in Canada there are some places that are really wet. My aunt (from two provinces over) said she has never - in all her days of gardening- seen anything like this. She went to check the potatoes as everything was so wet from all the rain. She dug up a few potatoes and they were huge and when she opened one to see what it was like - water gushed out of it! So she figures they'll be lucky to have enough potatoes to do them until xmas.
Good luck to everyone!

so sorry about this hope it never floods your house

PLEASE TAKE CARE ALL OF YOU THAT IS EXPERIENCING BAD WEATHER. WATER IS SOMETHING THAT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. I HOPE AND PRAY THAT NO ONE COMES ANYWHERE CLOSE TO FLOODING.

Hope water recedes and doesn't get in your home. In my area in the USA we are 11 to 12 inches shy on rainfall this year...whole state is under a burn ban. Therefore we could use some of your rain for sure but don't need the flooding. Stay safe as I didn't realize your area has had so much rainfall. Swift moving water is dangerous so you really don't need to be out in it but keep a watch on your situation...hope all turns out well.

this Australian weather is crazy, may be mother nature has PMS :) yesterday here in Sth Aust 100 km north af Adelaide was 32degrees this morning freezing. Hope all is well and didnt do much damage to your property

Thinking about you. It is worth thinking of having a plan of action just in case you should get flooded. I have a friend who when she sells her house will be able to say it didnot flood when much of the rest of the area she lives in did. BUT hope for your sake hope you never are flooded as it is pretty awful

WOW that is a lot of water. Hope you are safe and the water recedes.

Oh My! I never realized how fast water comes up. Please take care. I'll pray for all of you. Rushing water can be so treacherous.Stella

Ho dear,
I hope this ordeal will be over soon so you can go back to normal routine. Hang on in there. All the best,
