Mayday mayday!

As of now I have water 10mm from my back door with nothing I can do but wait...I've dug trenches... Got sand bags... Cracked a beer and now I'm waiting for the rain to stop

call the s.e.s if you have to mate,bad here to,i'm out the back of nambour and flooded in.

Feel sorry for you buggers up there with all that water and barely a useful thing to do with it all.

I have seen the ses mate, stole some sand bags off them and left them to do there thing! It's unbelievable the amount of water coming down and I agree krafty "what a waste"

At least you're not isolated or without beer.

I hope that's as close as it comes!

Build an ARK!

I have the tinnie ready for launch from the drive way if all he'll breaks loose!

Its a bugger when there is TOO much rain, but what can you do? Hopefully it won't get any higher, although the radar is looking pretty bad at the moment.

Back of our property is a swamp, and the 2 foot deep trenches we dug around our pool last year to protect our swimming pool have been flowing a steady stream of underground water for the last 2 weeks non stop.

Mate next door just got back from Cairns and was bouncing on his lawn in the backyard like a waterbed, he then stuck a shovel through the turf and before I could say STOP!, a mini gyser erupted from under his lawn, and now he has a small stream running through his yard as well.

This "La Nina" shit has outstayed its welcome!
