Sunny Coasters! Are you ok?

How are all you Sunshine Coast members holding up?

According to the news you're copping the worst.

Anyone need help?

It's a bit wild here in Brissy,.. but we should be ok.

Apparentley there has been a bit of a dash to Matt Berry's workshop at Cooroy by "h" and Kombi Bob to get evrthing up of the floor as the creek down the bottom of Matt's yard is comming up and he's not keen on a repeat of last Feb .
Hope all's good Matt .

Time to build a levee at your place Matt

that creek is bananas 😬

all sweet.. sorta
I've got a big ass tree fallen fully in my dam.. damn indeed..
oh well coulda been worse..
i took the tractor over to mattys n pulled various bit n bobs to higher ground..
me n matt helped some jumper ants to safety
more like playing with hot needles that you don't know are there till they bang! get ya
I only managed to help one ant but the owner of the lot copped the mostest 🤪
all good now we thinks, as the rain has eased and the creek started to recede a little..
time to go and enjoy some liquid refreshments at prolly mr bobs this eve 😉
cheers for your thoughts and concern 🙂
thanks 👍

Yep, thanks all, still in wet clothes !!!! Bundy will help 🙂

where are you matt?

Stay safe up there guys.

I was supposed to Fly Out Friday but I'm still trapped on Curtis Island, Gladstone.

All good up here, but did run out of beer and the roads were cut into town.
So yep disaster!

^ good to read you doing your liver a favor 😉 but then again naaaaaaah

12+ hours in the dark running around clearing blockages. We got flooded in at on stage, but nothing in the house or shed. Winds are wrecking havoc tho we are still getting smashed! Good to hear you guys up north are ok.

hope everyone got thru ok?

Our roof is leaking.was up on the roof late yesterday try seal it up no joy.had to crawl through the man hole and crawl up and find the leak.moped water up and got a bucket under it.leak is rite over my notch.😢 gota go up now and empty the bucket again

going to be a big clean once this winds finished! We've got shit down everywhere.

Good luck with the roof beetle_nut hopefully this rain will back off.

All ok here , mainly due to our location in Alexandra Hills , yell out if anybody needs a hand , as travel for myself shouldn't be a problem in my old Landcruiser and i have plenty of gear on board as i'mm a self employed construction worker .

why??

They have been running the barge's the last couple of days and flights out of Gladstone are all go... the roads are still closed in some places on the way down tho...

was it warm enough over there for you today?? or you one of the luckier ones and are in the A/C .

steff.........

Hope all of you guys fared okay - anyone in Bundaberg must be doing it pretty tough right now.

Gladstone faire well really, river went over at the Boyne and some houses flooded.. they got cut off for a few days but all good now, have mates in bundy that are getting a pounding but not in danger of losing there house but he said just 100 m down the road they are close to totally underwater. Waters expected to peak there tonight/early morning..

Here in gladstone we had 1042mm (roughly 40+inches) in three and a half days! never seen rain like it..

steff.....

We've only just got power on since 11am Sunday. Amazing how you take it for granted.

we only lost power for 20 mins here n there, up the road from you...
talk about a crisis when the water pump didnt work n especially when the air con shut down n knowing the beer was getting hot 🤪
hope you are sorting out your freezer n restocking at least.. insurance should cover it..
sorry to hear

The wife ended up driving around stocking up friends freezers! Exactly where are you h ?

Yep, my mum is up ner you Barry, she was here last night....we had a B-I-G cook-up for dinner ..... steak, chops and snags. 🙂

I've been lucky like h, hardly lost any power. 🙂

up the track from matty barry

So,.. Matt.

Did your workshop get flooded???

Was one of the "bits n bobs" that H dragged up to higher ground our bucket of bolts?

All good here thanks Carl, had about 600ml before the shed slab got wet. 🙂

If anyone needs insurance advice send me a PM. I,ve been an insurance asssessor (home) for ten years and just got flown up to try and tackle 700 jobs 🤪

You've got to laugh,on Tuesday my son spent 2 hours cooking a chicken on the bbq, the wife spent a lot of that time mopping up the water from the fast defrosting fridge and the freezer before I got home from work, anyway it came to cutting the chicken and the wife dropped it straight into the mop bucket😢 Needless to say we didn't have chicken that night!
