Don't worry Stacey he's probably fine, Brisbane is relatively unscathed compared to Bundaberg and places like that. Some trees down and local creek flooding here. He would be very unlucky to be affected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anika Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 We checked on our unit at 7.30pm last night just after the Bremer river was due to peak around 6pm, the water was about 10cm from our back door and was just creeping up the driveway, we knew it was still rising so were not confident that we'd stay dry and were thinking we'd be doing a lot of cleaning today. However, when we went back to survey the damage this morning we were over the moon to find that although the water had touched the side of the house it hadn't gone in. We have never felt so lucky in our life. So as long as the river never peaks above 13.9m we'll be staying dry :-) Sadly, 8 of our neighbours were not so lucky and have ended up spending the day cleaning and throwing things out, compared to 2011 when the whole complex was inundated however and all the units had to be gutted everyone has come away lightly.
