My part of town has been spared flooding. The rain had kept off for two days now, so the flash floods have kept the local creek in its banks. We’re far enough away from the Brisbane River to be spared back flows.
The roads have been open and clear, apart from rock falls closing one lane on Musgrave Road at Red Hill. Even the swamp that was my back yard is starting to dry out.
PT is still out. Translink is running a skeleton service on BUZ routes and some train lines only.
I will be back at work as soon as the CBD is cleared for action. Officially that should be tomorrow, but a lot depends on Energex and if it can guarantee electricity supply. Of course, this relies on floods going down and no more rain!
I am just thankful I don’t live in one of the affected areas. They will be horrible for weeks to come.
And thanks to all who have called or written so send wishes. It’s appreciated.
