abba12 Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 Thought I'd post this on gen ed because I know the most active aussies on chat board are all in the southern states, but a few quieter ones tend to hang out here. Any of our Aussie posters here in the cyclone or flood effected areas? Not mentioning exact places, but I'm right in the middle of it (on high ground thankfully, isolated but wont be flooded). It's a nervous night, the rivers are still rising and have reportedly gone beyond 1974 levels, though I suppose that wont be officially confirmed until morning. All our family are either trapped on their properties or isolated by road. Kids are alternating between excitement and fear. It's been a crazy few days, that's for sure! Everyone else safe and out of harms way? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

traceyrox74 Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 I'm in the flood zone. Yesterday, we were sent an emergency message to move to higher ground but the waters haven't reached us or isolated us, thankfully. My boys were annoyed that the premier closed all of the schools but never mentioned homeschools, and I made them continue their schoolwork. There are occasional drawbacks of homeschooling. :laugh: 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been out to see the bridge at Wolffdene yet? Should look even more amazing from your side, we are on the opposite side and went to see this morning, absolutely amazing the power of water. Hope you stay safe. Sounds like our other aussie boardies are out of harms way. If you find yourself in need of clean up help feel free to send a PM, we're planning to try get out and do some work this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chocolate-chip chooky Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 I hope you've kept safe Abba. I'm in QLD but it was called an ex-cyclone by the time it got to us. Heaps of wind and a ridiculous amount of rain, but we're lucky to be high and dry where we are. Having schools, unis and workplaces closed was highly unusual and reflects how serious the weather event was. I hope you're all okay. My thoughts are with all of those in the cyclone-affected and flood-affected areas. There are tragedies unfolding out there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
