Cadmoon Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Thought the peak in Brisbane was supposed to be 7m lower than 2011. Unless that was some tricky number fudging and not taking into account high tide. Some places have been hit harder than in 2011 so it could be worse.

mad082 Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 gympie is tame compared to what is going on up in bundy. places like bundy that are flat always get devasted by floods because the water can flow so fast. gympie is hilly so the damage is minimal Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/418644-so-dry-really-need-more-rain/page/2/#findComment-6725854 Share on other sites More sharing options...

33GTRV Posted January 29, 2013 Author Share Posted January 29, 2013 just drove through miriam vale and towards the north side of bundy. I have never seen a flood like this, its tearing the joint apart Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/418644-so-dry-really-need-more-rain/page/2/#findComment-6726994 Share on other sites More sharing options...
sneakey pete Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 So I call shenanigans, this is possibly going to be a serious flood again, and wait for it.......be bigger than 2011, Newman is covering up! So, hows that crazy theory coming along for you? Do have to agree with the misreporting, or rather, misdirection of reporting. Too much focus on Brisbane where, while there is a little bit of flooding, instead of bundaberg or grafton, who are getting crazily hammered with floods bigger than ever recorded. more news time for brisbane than bundaberg.

GTR-N1 Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Feel sorry for relatives of those who've died - yes W. Gympie too and a 3 yr old kid (watching the river) squashed by a tree.

jiffo Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 That's Piero's pizza shop on the corner. He'd be used to humping his ovens upstairs by now. We just got power back, has been out since Sat night. No land line phone, no mobile coverage, no internet, pretty quiet here. Dairy farmers have run out of cold storage so they're milking and then dumping. Poor cows are only getting 1-milking per day, udders look ready to explode. Gen set is now first item on my shopping list.

r3kl3s Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 It's shit here in bundy, we now have the army in to help. Over north side where is was the worst they found a family all dead in their house. I've been without power for 5 days and just spent 1100 big ones on a new generator that will power the whole house and ergon decided to turn our power back on all in the same day.
