My husband finally got home at 11pm last night.
He said there were very few cars on the road and I was able to tell him which roads were closed so he got home safely and without any dramas.
The effect the flood had on me today was that I went to work in my local office and remoted in to the computer on my desk in Brisbane. The power to that building has obviously not been cut off yet - I will be in trouble once that happens because I won't be able to log back into that computer. Instead I will have to install a bunch of software onto the local computer and I will lose a whole bunch of site based access.
I was able to help out my helpdesk buddies in Adelaide via our instant messaging system. It all felt very surreal.
It was sunny this morning and we got up early to go for a walk down at the waterfront. The high tide mark was littered with plastic buckets and debris from boats - include decks and fittings. Someone's porch roof with bits of plasterboard still attached had been washed up.
Queensland is going to take a lot of work. We are going to need EVERYONE to volunteer for Clean Up Australia Day this year.
Hope eveyone stays safe. I am not going anywhere near those floodwaters. Photos in the internet is close enough for me.
