2012 isn't the end of the world it's the beginning of a new erra. Kinda like midnight is the start of a new day.

well logans in the clear...nothing happening here...sunshine & dry roads...

some localised flooding...but other than that nothing major...logan river could take another 5m before the highway would flood...id actually pay to see that i think...

The calendar that the 2012 apocalypse is based of is a 400yr cyclical. World didn't end in the 1600.. Not gonna end now.. Not gonna end ever.. Until the sun becomes a red giant and we turn in to mercury, then get evaporated.. But that's a few bill years away, pretty sure humanity will extinct itself by then

We have our first flood victim on here.
I stupidly drove my car through 15cm deep water this morning when going to help people move their belongings before they got flooded and my car got flooded.
Some how I have managed to suck up a lung full of water into the engine.
I have removed the spark plugs and dried the cylinders but when I restarted it 5 hours later it makes the most horrid noise. Almost like a stuck lifter .
Its my fault for driving through water with a low mounted air filter.

can i just say this. while the flooding up here is nowhere near as bad (even tho everyone up here has bought all 4 woolworths and 2 coles out of stock about 3 times now..idiots) you guys had PLENTY of warning...there had been flood warnings all over the state since before xmas.

there wasnt warning for toowoomba at all...it happened over night...then it all came down the range into wivenhoe...then wivenhoe is way too full...so it had to be released...

we had some sort of warning...but not weeks...

and we all know the floods arent just in brisbane...all the news coverage is "QLD FLOOD DISASTER"

75% of qld is in floods suposebdly...

hurricane katrina effected 250,000 sq miles... qld floods effected 1,000,000 + sq miles

The fcuk is that supposed to mean ghouru??
Here is what I think.. This isn't the 1st flood.. This should have been fully avoidable in Brisbane anyway. There has been 30 years since the last one, and this shouldn't have happened, not in a capital city.. This isn't a 3rd world country..
What happend in toowoomba wasn't unavoidable and is truly a great tragedy..
I really don't understand why everyone bough out all the supermarkets. If this country went in to war, all the food would go in like a week.

i dont think we could avoid this...they were talkin on the news last night about maybe getting the same system london has with its flood gate things...that would do jack **** here...the issue we had was when we were releasing water out of the dam by the time it reached brisbane the high tide was just coming in...you close the gates...the flood water would build up anyway...

i just see it as even if you were prepared. with 75% of the state covered in flooding
it doesent really matter how prepared you were your house is still gonna be effected in some way. there were houses designed for flood resistence on the news that have been destroyed

and ghoru please be a bit more careful about statesment like that. someone on here might have lost a house and could take offence to it

I would suggest those who know nothing about townplanning and flood zones, shutup... At least investigate the justification of your opinion before giving it. In doing so, you might learn a thing or two.

The guilty will be offended by my comments.

I am gonna assume that was aimed at me at least partly if not fully.. I wasn't talking about flash flood mitigation or having flood gates I was referring to having higher banks on the river and a storm water drain shutof system that seals the ducts that leave to the river as the water level on the exit points reaches over the exit port. This isn't the 1st time this has happend and a river braking it's banks is not a uncommon thing, but I meant the damage, some at least, could have been avoided since it has already happend before.. And in regards to toowoomba it was ment to say that it was unavoidable (not the double negative I typoed)
