EVEN MORE FLOOD PICS

Again I ventured out into the affected suburbs (my suburbs) today and even though it was a lower tide the water levels were nevertheless significantly higher than the day before. Granted, I didn't see it at it's peak, but there is so much debrit and crusted dirt marks where the water had been in the early hours of this morning.

The river is moving so fast, it's like a great beast, tearing pontoons, boats, restaurants, anything in its path and sending them on a river tour of Brisbane before spitting them out to the ocean.

FLOOD RISING

I took these snaps at 11am this morning...

Brunswick Street outside Myrther Village (Coles)

Sandbags outside the Waterloo Hotel, Fortitude Valley (Commercial Road)

 

Entrance to the River Walk and my mate's place

 

Looking across to Bulimba park

The River Walk - ruined

 

End of Myrther Road, the crowds begin to gather to watch the swell

Sandbagging furiously to beat the water - Mizu in Teneriffe (my fave Japanese place incidentally)

 

Broken pontoon in front of Teneriffe

Residents in level 1 of my building in Teneriffe (Saratoga South) salvaging personal effects out of the window



Trucks and 4x4s everywhere, loaded with sandbags

Myrther Park near outside Myrther Bowls

The scary thing is, the worst is yet to come. The peak has been revised at reaching 5.2mts in the early hours of tomorrow morning.
