Never had any say Panda I <3 Floods Silver Donating Members 11,198 Member For: 13y 5m 23d Gender: Male Location: South West QLD Posted 27/01/13 09:01 AM Share Posted 27/01/13 09:01 AM Farking got a phone call from one of the inlaws telling us there was a 1.0m high wall of water headed for where we live.. Went nuts.. Got things off the ground, got the animals ready for a quick departure, wife ready, everything baby needs.. Looked outside.. Thought to myself it's odd no one else is making an attempt to get out..Turns out there is no wall of water.. And I have no ducking idea where my inlaws get their fuxking news stories from..On a plus side.. If I leave the fridge where it currently is I won't get a sore back getting things out of the crisper anymore.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an awesome tool for getting information, but dangerous for fcking idiots.Just like the Awoonga dam was going to over-top and collapse about thirty times in the last couple of days. Surprised that there hasn't been talk of Wivenhoe or Sommerset failing yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The amount floating down the boyne river was unbelievable..and they fcking stunk too. This time I'd say they'll be flushed out pretty quick.

Creek near us is filling fast as the creek it flows into is overfull so it can't empty out..Now I'm glad I lifted things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
