    Great on the South side of the river. Not so good for people living on the north. Self evacuation orders have been issued.
    Rather this than fires.

    Not long back online. We had a black-out from fallen powerlines from around 1pm to 7pm.

    There's more water heading for Bundy that's for sure. Amanda's parents are in G.a.yndah and the Burnett River is expected to peak there sometime tomorrow morning. Paradise Dam is raging over teh wall and spillway.

    The worst seems to have passed here now. We had about 90mm since 9am but the wind has dropped off now and just left with drizzle. Water still running out of the ceiling into a custom bucket-drain I knocked-up to siphon it out the front door and down into the driveway.

    Let the clean-up begin tomorrow.

    My improvised drainage-system to catch the leaking water and send it downstairs to the driveway. Saves having to empty the green bin every thirty minutes so I might actually get some sleep tonight.
