More Storms Hit Town.

We had the warning! Flash flooding to be expected and I kid you not, it didn’t stop raining. Wow, the sky just opened up and it poured all day and night for 48hrs.

We’re fine, just a little leak underneath the house but the very same suburbs that got hit last November in a big storm, had a rough time again. For some, they had just finished the clearing up and rebuilding only to experience more trees falling.

The Gold coast, The Gap and the inner city were flooded and battered by the wild winds. Yes people got stuck, stranded and rescued. Cars were abandoned and washed away.

Did people respond well? Some, some had no idea how bad until it hit and then it was too late… there were plenty of people who decided to try their 4wheel drives just to see if they could get through the floods!

Well, next comes Government hand outs (will it be enough?) and insurance claims (will they pay up?). The Dams are filling fast but we’re still on water restrictions non-the-less.
