Good morning all.
Not alot to report as of yet. Situation is floods are still rising. The worst is not meant to hit until tomorrow afternoon, 58 suburbs are evacuated or evacuating. Over 6500 homes are looking to go under but surprisingly many people are in good spirit. Death toll still at 10 and hasn't increased over night (thank god) but people missing has increased to 78 and grave fears for 18.
Looking at images of places I shopped at as a child, they are under water and normaly hundreds of meters from any water. Flood levels are over 18m expected to get as high or higher than 21m the infamous 1974 flood levels were 20m.
One bit of good news is we have blue skies. Yes we can actualy see the sun. Had almost forgotten what it looked like. However sadly it won't make any difference on the flood levels as the damage has already been done hopefully it will lesson the time the flood waters are up.
Have not heard from my daughter yet this morning so hoping that means they didnt have to evacuate over night.
Still no landline phone or internet this morning but I spoke with my wireless company and they may be able to keep me online even after my credit runs out as I can't top up because money not able to be transfered into credit card.
I hope I am not boring all of you with these updates but it helps with the stress to write about it.
Take care everyone
Trish
