Indeed. If I didn't have 45 phone lines diverted to my mobile I would have been out there doing the same. :banghead:

Although it's a complete fck-around with work's building being out of action for a while in the CBD and all the crap I have to deal with there, I feel somewhat guilty being totally unaffected at home and seeing what so many poor bastards are going through.

I`ve never seen so many helicopters in my life. Dozens in the sky all day the whole time the water was up. They were still buzzing around work today but the river is still WAY up there.

Work was totally trashed. But it can break your heart but never your resolve.

I`m wondering when we`ll see a list of those deceased? There`s a few people I`m concerned about.

The water got to my front yard, all the houses in my street on the other side got water in them to some degree.

Bloke across the road from me had his terminally ill wife set up in the lounge room in a hospital style bed with a nurse visiting every day. She was to end her days at home as she wished to do so. Tuesday night the power goes off, she`s obviously not comfortable and stuff she had there wouldn`t work. Ambulance came and took her to hospital and she died there soon after. Next morning there was water to the floorboards, 2 storey house. Did Allan need that sh!t? I don`t think so.

2 houses down young couple just furnished their house, all new gear, its now piled on the footpath.

We had no power for 4 days and frankly I have 3 weeks minimum of slaves at the pyrimid style labour rebuilding it all.

But its a minor inconvenience compared what other had and are still enduring.

I took pics, but got sick of it eventually. I could post them but who hasn`t seen enough?

The army of people in Brisbane turning out by the busload to help was AWESOME. its the most bloody AUSTRALIAN thing, true Australian spirit I`ve seen in years.

You see that and you know were not fvcked yet, not by a long shot.

My work is the opposite, saying no work so forced to take leave and to top it off havnt been paid for nearly 3 weeks as they are saying the payrol company was affected at west end.

Great, we have no food? No money for bills?

We struggled to get a rented house before this flood so how are people who have lost there home going to find a place to live?

closing a evacuation center, just takes the cake, maybe the pollies need to open there homes up for them while they try to live in the gutter.

Weird how they can find accommodation for refugee's but don't give a sh*t for our own.
