Although it is raining and thundering away here today, but they don't think this rain will impact PHEW!</p> <p>It is supposed to be around 10 days before the river goes down so its all back within its banks.</p> <p>I think there are a lot of relieved people and I'm hoping my dad was wrong in that he thinks more is coming....</p> <p>I may have to go up tomorrow so if I do, I'll try and get some photos - although a online image search would probably yield better pics LOL </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/theresa-hope-youre-not-affected-by-the-floods#post-275296 Wed, 05 Jan 2011 21:07:00 +0000 Michelle 275296@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Much love to the Aussie ladies -- this sounds extremely stressful! Please stay safe and take care of your family and friends.<br /> Theresa, did the river crest as expected? Everything still ok? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/theresa-hope-youre-not-affected-by-the-floods#post-275208 Wed, 05 Jan 2011 18:36:46 +0000 Lynne 275208@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gosh, Theresa, it sounds incredible. Do stay safe and well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/theresa-hope-youre-not-affected-by-the-floods#post-274900 Wed, 05 Jan 2011 00:42:04 +0000 Theresa 274900@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks ladies! I am very safe here, so definitely fine - Rocky is the big town 45mins away from where I live that I go to occasionally. I do still have a house there (ex-H lives in it) but its way out of the danger zone. I haven't been up for a week or so because I'm avoiding the chaos, but my friends/family up there are keeping me up to date and we have some facebook groups (CQ floods and Rockhampton region floods I think they are called - they have loads of actual pics if anyone wants to have a squiz) that are posting lots of real time updates.</p> <p>I've been hearing from people around town with relatives overseas that a lot of the reports making the news are not entirely accurate... they are making it sound like the whole town is under water? There really are only a few suburbs inundated - its the isolation due to road cuts and the panic-buying that's the main problem for now - once the river peaks (today or tomorrow), and then subsides (anywhere up to 10 days time), the damage will be clearer.</p> <p>KP we actually woke up to sun on New Years Day and its been sunny ever since!!! We've still had a few overnight storms and more is predicted though So I'm forcing the girls outside as much as possible while we have the sun!! I hope you Brisbane girls get some sun soon!</p> <p>I spoke to my dad this morning - he is a truck driver and is actually stuck outside of rocky and carting loads of stockfeed around as many of the places that they can get to, and he said the damage to the roads is just amazing - 1m (3ft) deep potholes and sheets of bitumen just washed completely away. But he said he has a feeling the river could go higher than they are predicting because a lot of the downstream rivers are still rising from what he is seeing out there... but only time will tell. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/theresa-hope-youre-not-affected-by-the-floods#post-274575 Tue, 04 Jan 2011 13:39:01 +0000 anne 274575@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am listening to the 7:30 report right now - big report on Rockhampton.

I have been watching the coverage on tv and in the newspapers in the UK and the scale of the disaster is mind-boggling.</p> <p>Keep safe! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/theresa-hope-youre-not-affected-by-the-floods#post-274517 Tue, 04 Jan 2011 06:12:23 +0000 AJ 274517@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh I was thinking of you Aussie YLFers as I saw the floods on the news this morning. Glad to hear that you are safe. Keep us posted. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/theresa-hope-youre-not-affected-by-the-floods#post-274513 Tue, 04 Jan 2011 06:05:18 +0000 stringy 274513@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Glad to hear our Queensland YLF ladies are going to be ok - I can't even imagine what it'd be like to have that much rain and flooding. Fingers crossed for all your family and friends as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/theresa-hope-youre-not-affected-by-the-floods#post-274356 Tue, 04 Jan 2011 00:43:35 +0000 Sveta 274356@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I am so glad you are safe, Theresa. I heard the news about the flood in Queensland yesterday while driving my son back to university and was thinking about you and other Aussie gals from the forum.<br /> I will keep my fingers crossed for all of you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/theresa-hope-youre-not-affected-by-the-floods#post-274337 Mon, 03 Jan 2011 23:48:02 +0000 anne 274337@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great to hear from you QLD girls. Everytime the news has shown that map of the flooding I have checked out your locations, and taken note when you were posting here too (cos I thought you wouldn't be if you were flooded) but of course I didn't know about your old home - that must be rather traumatic for you.</p> <p>Katie are you going crazy with your kids and the wet? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/theresa-hope-youre-not-affected-by-the-floods#post-274330 Mon, 03 Jan 2011 23:35:29 +0000 Katiepea 274330@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Glad that you are ok Theresa, I've been thinking about you as well. Is it just me, or do you think the sun will come out again, oh, say the 24th of January? Everything is pretty ok here in Brisneyland as far as I can tell. Just wet and gloomy (like everywhere else), perfect weather for the summer holidays.... ;-( </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/theresa-hope-youre-not-affected-by-the-floods#post-274311 Mon, 03 Jan 2011 22:54:57 +0000 Debbie 274311@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Theresa-Please stay safe! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/theresa-hope-youre-not-affected-by-the-floods#post-274307 Mon, 03 Jan 2011 22:44:10 +0000 Theresa 274307@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>awww Thank you so much for asking Louise and that link Sharon! I'd heard the flooding was making news overseas...</p> <p>Sharon is right, I live near Rockhampton - where I live is perfectly safe and I'm not being affected here. But yes, Rockhampton is expecting a peak in the river sometime tomorrow - it will be one of the top 5 flood heights I think I heard The city is now completely isolated - all roads out and the airport and rail lines are under water. And my only way out of where I live is via Rocky so, I am stuck too.</p> <p>Lots of lower lying suburbs there have been evacuated and my brothers girlfriends beauty salon is under water - luckily she got everything out in time. </p> <p>The town of Emerald was almost entirely under water last weekend, I used to live there and 3 of the 4 homes I lived in were completely flooded, so it makes for some very vivid images when I picture my homes under water :(</p> <p>The biggest things I'm dealing with are crazy people in the shopping centres panic-buying - we have barges with trucks full of food coming, so there is not going to be any shortage of food, but you'd swear there the supermarkets were going to close down and never reopen the way people are behaving there. And my service station was almost out of fuel on Friday, but I believe they got a truck through on Saturday before the roads were closed.</p> <p>At this stage they are predicting 10 days - 2 weeks before the roads are open again... But we had a massive storm last night so I'm hoping that rain hasn't caused any more issues.</p> <p>Sharon how are you and all the other Brisbane girls going? I've heard you've been dealing with massive tides causing flooding in conjunction with all this rain we've had?</p> <p>It's certainly dampened the high spirits usually experienced at this time of year </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/theresa-hope-youre-not-affected-by-the-floods#post-274299 Mon, 03 Jan 2011 22:29:14 +0000 Louise 274299@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Sharon ~ fingers crossed Theresa and any other Queensland YLF ers are OK x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/theresa-hope-youre-not-affected-by-the-floods#post-274293 Mon, 03 Jan 2011 22:24:52 +0000 Sharon 274293@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think Theresa lives near Rocky, which is due to peak over the next 24 hours.<br /> For those who don't know, a large amount of our state is under water and a lot of people in rural areas have lost their homes and crops.</p> <p><a href="http://www.smh.com.au/environment/weather/no-airport-rail-or-road-rockhampton-now-completely-cut-off-20110104-19e1v.html?from=smh_sb" rel="nofollow">http://www.smh.com.au/environm.....rom=smh_sb</a></p> <p>Theresa, if you can get on line, let us know that you are OK and if you need help/accommodation from us city people. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/theresa-hope-youre-not-affected-by-the-floods#post-274212 Mon, 03 Jan 2011 18:34:05 +0000 Louise 274212@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've just been reading about the awful flooding in Queensland hope you haven't been affected? x </p>
