Northern Queensland has been flattened by cyclone Debbie. Hope northern Bricksters and anybody up there have come out OK. The aftermath of the storm has now hit Brisbane over 8" rain expected in the next 24 hours, more for next couple of days. Schools have been closed all the way down to NSW border and people told not to go to work unless absolutely necessary. I went into work this morning early and rang the Queensland manager to see what was going on, and whether they wanted me to open or not. Told my decision, so no work today. We are reasonably high up but our backyard does flood, but so far has stopped about a foot short of the house. I have the mattock and shovel handy for a bit of ditch digging. Eldest daughter gets cut off by flooding, her partner is trying to get there before it happens, he went to work but has now been sent home. Might be a good day to do some maintenance in the garage. Due to the heavy rain internet keeps on going down.
Regards a soggy Martin.
