Wow, I know everyone further south than me is copping it, but Jeebus Christ...

Reminds me when we had our restaurant and the water rose up over the back wall on the river from rain + king tides.

nice place cabarita beach. we visited there in 2001.
you could send some of that water up to us, we still have water restrictions from 18 months ago :help:

Ok it has stopped raining at the moment so hopefully that is it. Hoops went for a walk to check things out and this is what he seen.

Wow. Wow.

I wonder what car that was.

Holy crap that would suck, looks like a BMW to me, i'd be spewin. :saywhat:

BMW = 0wn3d!

haha, and they left the windows down, CLAP CLAP. Lol, That persons husband/wife is gonna be happy when they get home.

It was a BMW, the windows were not left down, the electrics were playing up and the window was going up and down by its self as well as the wipers

Ok today would have to be one of the worst i have had for a while.
All started at work where half of my job has been washed away, next rushing to get in my ute when my mobile slips off my belt and gets washed down the drain, Now i have the sh*ts its ****ing down rain and im trying to get home before all the roads are blocked. Nearlly home one street away and the road is already flooded, didnt think it was that bad so i drive through, at the time i thought that all was good (besides the amount of water that was rising towards my house). I go to the gararge and find that i am missing my number plate, the plastic tray under the engine bay, one of my fog lights is dislodged and both are full of water.
Looking on the bright side things cant get any worse, except that the water is still rising :help:
Ok i feel a little better now so thanks for listening :wink_2:

Sounds like you're having fun Hoops. :P

It's just stopped raining here too, except we got a small fraction of what you copped.

Doesn't look too good thee mate but I can see in pics 1+2 you are prepared with your very own shark net :evil_laug . Are the property values rising at the same rate as the water? Nothing like a waterfront home. Hope it all works out OK for you.

Yep the rain was pritty heavy on the Gold coast. the rain fall was as such Brisbane 86mm, Gold coast 590mm in 14 hours, Lismore 165mm,

That's incredible. I just saw some more images on the news from over there, things are looking very very not good. Good luck to you folks, I know from about a month ago the amount of damage this sort of flooding can cause.

Wow, that's a lot of water, you don't own a jet ski do you Hoop's,LOL.

thats crazy guys hope no more damage gets done and stay inside!

Where are these photos of flooded jets I keep hearing about?!

I agree everyone speaks of these photos and i am yet to see them :sulkoff:

hope all is well guys..

Not sure if Jacq and I want to move up that way anymore.. Were looking at moving to Brissie.. We may have to start the FPV XR Owners Club of ACT - North NSW and QLD sub branch.. Imagine that logo ;)

I told you when we visited you pair, to get yourselves a boat like the people across from you :bath:

Bugger.

That is a lot of water, hopefully some fell in the catchment areas.

At least you can go for a swim whenever you like!

Sorry we dont have any of flooded jets.

Well everything is slowly going down and the clean up has started in the streets.

Flooded jets would have been at Coolangatta Airport. Saw pics this morning on Sunrise. Quite amazing really.

ffffffffaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrkkkkkkkkkkkkkk they need to truck some of that water down this way

In the wake of the recent floods it is always good to see a hero evolve.
