Shas and Sapph - yes, I'm totally 'safe'. Thanks. The power might go at some stage but that's a minor embuggerance.

Today is 1-11-11. In binary code, that’s considered “stuttering.”

Oh, TF .... wish I could come over and help you sweep that that lot of water out.

A question - is there sufficient infrastructure to manage excessive amounts of water for future drought?? I was a bit stunned to hear that dams were releasing water .......... I know that this an exceptional weather event, but surely some reserve capacity has been built in in a country that commonly suffers drought conditions??

I wont complain about the Wgtn wind ever again ......

Afternoon everybody.
Sorry I didn't report in earlier.

After a battery of painful mammograms, a biopsy and ultrasound, I have not a thing to worry about YAY!!!

Aspy , how is your place holding up? Still OK?

Tawn I heard about the rain in Victoria and wondered if you'd be affected. Are you and your property OK.... as OK as can be expected I mean.

I guess you didn't see the alcoholic program last night what with no leccy and bailing out water from your house. It was pretty good. From data the guy was saying, I worked out I that when I was at my worst, I was drinking more than a weeks worth of alcohol EVERY NIGHT!!!!! Now THAT is a sobering thought.

And news just in is Bundaberg is going to get flooded again. Fortunately I have a carton of Bundy in the cupboard.

Thank goodness Rags, and thanks for letting us know.

Good afternoon Undies. Glad to hear you're all safe. For those of you, like Tawny, who have flooding in your area, please keep us up to date. Tawny, so sorry you have to go through this again.

Good stuff, Raggsy.

OK - Just as well I've taught the chooks to come when they're called. I've locked them up three hours early because I'm now going to attempt a 12 hour sleep.

Talk amongst yourselves ...

Thank dog for that Ragsy, bet you feel a million bucks. I saw that show on SBS.......I thought that psychologist fella should join us here on MWO...he has gotten away with his excesses for the time being, but give him a few more years and then we will see how he is. Yes and at my worst I was binging on about a months worth is four days...fusk...cant even imagine it now!!!!!!!!!

I think they are releasing water from major catchment dams around Brisbane Missy because they are already 180% of capacity and with the high rainful and deluge from further up it couldnt possibly hold any more. Better to release it in a controlled fashion than have it weaken the structures and break down. The Wivenhoe dam is absolutely massive.

ok TF...... I will be up 12 hours from now. Give me a shout if you need it

Hi Missy,
The sheer volume of water is unimagineable.... something like 6 times the capacity of Sydney Harbour has poured through just Toowoomba and Brisbane.... Dams cannot hold back the water as they are full to capacity...... as Sapph says Wivenhoe dam is bloody huge. I think it can hold 156% before overflowing. So they've been pumping it out trying to keep the level below that. But it is adding to the inundation.

We may not hear from Aspy for a day or so as they are turning power off in flood affected areas.

And Bridge may be in a damp place too.


Hope they are all safe.

Wonder if TF's situation is worse than she's making out. She must be exhausted.
As am I .
I'm off to bed. Catch you all tomorrow.
