Severe weather - QLD Australia

[Fangtasia]

Just a heads up, quite a bit of QLD Australia is getting a hammering from severe weather. Cyclone Oswald is the cause....not only are people dealing with its damage, parts are dealing with multiple tornados, major flooding, 125klm winds etc

It is apparently coming my way, hoping it will blow itself out a bit by then, been blowing a gale and lots of rain here.....some roads are water covered. Some very nervous people here, its scarily like the 2011 floods.

A good day to stay home and wait it out

Yup, what they said.


Do you need a boat?

[Fangtasia]

Not at this stage lol....but if we are one of the areas they are saying will get 500mls of rainfall, then yep i may need one lol I dont think we will though, i think our total is at nearly 200ml rainfall, but seen photos of VERY high water canals going through Toowoomba, and the water from up North will start moving down the waterways, so will be an interesting next few days i'd say.

Bonus with the rain is it put the major fires out *sigh* i tell ya....................poor Oz is getting a flogging

Yep, someone in Qld pissed off the weather gods.

Or maybe pissed on, and now it's payback time.

[Oldfart]

Yup.

Just hope everyone stays safe and that the damage won't be too terribly bad. :wish:

Sadly 3 people have lost their lives in this :(

And parts of QLD that had not long recovered from the 2011 floods are again inundated....tis so heartbreaking
