Svarty and eRv under threat of flooding this weekend

[pErvinalia]

France and SE QLD / NE NSW are both due to get heavy rain and flooding this weekend. Disastrous levels.

Coincidence?

I think not.

Sacre bleu!

[pErvinalia]

Struth!

I'm about to drive up to Brissy to see the kids for the weekend. I'm really hoping I don't return on Sunday to a flooded house. It's king tides at the moment too.

Has rEv been swept out to sea to be eaten by crocodiles? Has Svarty gone In Seine?

[Svartalf]

I'm not yet in Seine, though I'm not far

[laklak]

What about me???? We've got a tropical depression that should hit us tomorrow.

We're all a bunch of wet blankets, aren't we?

[pErvinalia]

My suburb is under an evacuation warning. Jeez. I guess it's good I'm not there (im up in Brisbane.

[Rum]

The Seine is going insane! Its full of raw prawns!

Quick - grab le barbeque!

My suburb is under an evacuation warning.

Wow, what a coincidence. Just this morning my rhubarb was under an ejaculation warning.

[pErvinalia]

Don't cum the raw prawn with me!

Rain is only the start. You may not believe in Zeus. But he believes in you. Beware lightning bolts.

[JimC]

Seriously, rEv, tell us how you got on - news reports down here paint a very messy picture of events up north...

Ive just got home, no flooding in the park. The boat ramp area next door got flooded. And the road got cut about 200m away. Will be interesting to see the beach and shorefront at kingscliff tomorrow. Huge surf smashed the coast apparently.

First band of showers has passed over, got probably 3 inches of rain in about 40 minutes. Pumping the pool down a bit in preparation for the next one, which should hit in about an hour and a half. No wind to speak of, though they're calling for gusts up to about 50 mph. Nothing to worry about, just a bit of wet and wind.
