Rain rain go away...

Sunday 17 February 2008

... come again in a few months time. Fair enough it's the wet season but the amount of rain we've had over the last few days is ridiculous. Here's a few photos from our place taken on the 15th Feb.









Yes. That's water almost coming through MY FRONT DOOR! I was woken by a phone call at 6am on Friday and it was my neighbour asking how I was. At the time I was half asleep and was thinking why the hell is she ringing me now asking how I am? Then she said look outside. So I did. And OMG the water was EVERYWHERE. You couldn't make out the road, the driveway, nothing. I was expecting to walk to my loungeroom and be stepping in water but luckily for us, it never came inside. My poor neighbour on the other hand, their house was completely flooded. They lost a lot of stuff. Luckily they had time to move most of their furniture, etc but not all of it. I feel so sad for them and the other people in Mackay, some of whom DID lose everything. Thankfully there were no fatalities from this flood but it's not over yet. They're predicting some wild weather coming up so I can only assume we're in for a lot more rain. Great...
