RAIN RAIN RAIN GO AWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!


Here in Gladstone Central QLD it has been raining non stop for three days. Yesterday we had a wild storm that dumped a heap of rain on us in a short space of time. Check out these photos to show you the impact the deluge has had!




This fence here has been knocked down by the water. It is the boundary fence of the airport. That river flowing through there is usually just a very small creek.


The pic on the right is of the same creek above but on the other side of the road. It actually came up so high that it flooded across this road. One house on the left out of shot actually had about a foot of water under their house.







Picture on the left is Police Creek near the Big W complex. Those trees are usually high and dry as they are on the side of the creek!






The picture on the right shows the speed the water if running. The fence there goes down under the bridge above and divides the footpath from the creek bed! You say what footpath! Yes there is a footpath/bike pathway that usually goes under the bridge in the picture above!








The pic on the left is the footy field behind our Kmart shopping center. The river you see in the fore ground is usually just a very very small creek! But as you can see its turned the footy field into a lake!
The pic on the right shows the path that leads to the walk way under the Police Creek bridge, well actually it doesnt show it LOL cause its under water! You can tell how deep the water is by looking at those palm trees!

I am thinking about building an ark.. we have had 4 or 5 rain free days so far this year, no flooding YET we were still drying out from the huge flood and the pasha bulka beaching itself last June! try to stay safe and dry!
