It's been raining non-stop since Wednesday, never seen rain like this b4. I mean literally all day long, non-stop, deluge of downpour. Yesterday, picked up Jordan amidst some drama of screaming children who were trying to avoid the rain being blown in by the strong gusts of wind. Some people's umbrellas got ripped off and times like these, I am grateful for my free PETRONAS SUPER king size umbrella.
Wet, miserable May Day..... and May Day it is, because this is the worst flooding in 35 years & has prompted the Government to declare a state of emergency in southeast Queensland. The declared disaster area takes in the Sunshine Coast, the Gold Coast and areas west to, and including, the Toowoomba region. The state had its wettest 24 hours in 17 years. here's the satellite view...
Hundreds of roads were cut off, trapping children at school. The flood forced evacuations, brought down power lines and filled dams to overflowing. One person was killed by debris in his own office when an awning smashed into the glass at Surfers Paradise. Some places no power supply - abt 5000 residents affected.
More than 200 students and staff were trapped overnight at schools in Brisbane's west too. Late yesterday, more than 50 streets in Brisbane were closed.
well, as I write this, the rain has stopped, hallelujah! now can go get some groceries. Yes, I have the power of rain -blogging (blocking). ....!
