So it's been an interesting couple of days with these floods. I have been in this area for 28 years and have never seen anything like this. All around is flooded and lots of people losing their homes right in my very surrounding suburbs. Have lost power at one of my work stations and still don't have power and not expecting it for at least a couple of days. Causing a lot of lost work for my casual workers also which is a bit stressful for me. The water was even not far from my very home also. You can't get around much anywhere at the moment and people are losing their shit with the shops getting run dry. The cleanup and bill for this is going to be almost impossible to recover from. Lots of animals and cattle lost too which is awful to think about. Here's some pics;
This is the off street I live on. I live 3 houses up from this. There is not normally water there, it's a walkway and bush type area that normally is very low down. The water was rising but fortunately didn't spill over;
This area now 3 different images. You can see how high the water went up. Between the first and second picks it's about 18 hours, then it ramped up and that 3rd pick is about 6 hours later and was still going higher for another few hours from that time. The third pic I'm on the other side.
This is the road where I work at. I'm standing in front of work and this is just down the road.
This is just behind my work. It's normally a very small half a meter type lake that runs through.
We never expected this at all.
