DS rang me this morning to make sure I was ok. He can't get out of his yard today as the road is flooded. I just went for a quick drive and took these photos.
The first photo is of his street and the cream building on the left is his units he is in the last one of four so high and dry just not going anywhere.
The second photo is the main highway which goes through town, the whole town is cut in half. There are a lot of Fire and Rescue crews in town and helicopters overhead. Just spoke to my neighbours who can't get to work today but if I have a medical emergency its ok as they are both doctors..
just checked the website and we have had 10 inches of rain in the last 24 hours. Yesterday it just didn't stop and was heavy rain with lots of wind. Even the dogs didn't want to go outside.
I have to keep checking the river levels, if the Herbert River rises over 12 metres I will have to move my car to higher ground, but might do that anyway later today, better to be safe than sorry
Only one thing to do today and that is lots of sewing
