QLD Floods.

Just looking at chopper shots of Milton, hope Glenn is OK

From memory he lives just down the Road from Milton Maccas which is currently under a bit of water.
Not sure how the mk3 is holding up.

Hey guys, Glynn is fine. I spoke to him earlier and he was at a mate's house at New Farm. It's a real maze to get from Toowong to anywhere east but DrewR and I took the plunge (with the Tig) and snapped some shots. Will post them asap.

SEQ water have to take the blame for the debarcle, as they had the oportunity to reduce the level back in the first week of December when council asked them.

Haha good one mate, time for the blame game. Just because they didn't release some water we have the worst floods in 35 years. We've just been in a drought for ~10years, releasing bulk water is not on the top of the to-do list.

As AusScare said, good one.
No one could have predicted the crazy levels of water that were dumped on the South East.

SEQ Water are doing their best to give us time to prepare by holding back an apocalyptic amount of water at the moment at a level that is close to the top of the dam.
The real problem here isn't SEQ Water, it is the Bremmer river which has no control options on it, so all that water in Ipswich is caining down towards Brisbane and ther eis nothing we can do about it.

It's all good and well to try to blame some government group but i know for a fact that the actions of SEQWater have saved more lives than if they had done nothing.
Property/posessions can be replaced, lives cannot and they have given people a lifeline.



Unfortunately people have shown their lack of intelligence buy building in known flood areas and not doing proper checks (Which are available for free in Brisbane Area).

Quick Update.
They are going to dismantle/blow the Riverside Walk tonight as it is too great a risk to leave it as is.

Can't believe how unreal this all is.
From where I am you wouldn't even know Brisbane is in the biggest flood event in 36 years.

Same here, in my part of the world you would never know other than lots of choppers going over. I even mowed the lawn and did the gardens today.

Hope other people on here in Bris are OK.

I hope you are putting those mad camera skills to good use Chris.

Probably won't be able to do tomorrow night now that half of brisbane is underwater.
Here's hoping it goes down for the Euro meet next week.

Pics for clicks - good old milton maccas

I've gotta go to the gym or something, I'm either gonna burst out in tears watching channel 7 or go crazy from my three month old niece.

Awesome pictures Alex.
I finally get to see the Tig

You could go for another drive until around 4am when the tide is highest!
Or maybe go for a swim? lawl
