Brisbane Flood Pics 2011

[SNDMN]

G'day all, Not sure if this worked, may need Blockers help as I don't do computers. I used his you-tube vid tuition that semed to go ok but who knows where the pics will end up.

They are of the motorcycle shops I work at, we have the Harley dealership and the BMW one across the road. I have just got home now after finally being evacuated as we've spent the last two days/nights moving stock and motorbikes. It's at Newstead on the northern fringe of the Brisbane CBD and sits about 400m from the Brisbane river and backs directly onto Breakfast Creek .

In the 29 years I have worked there I have never seen the water come up this much and this fast. We'll go under this afternoon about 3pm (high tide) but by how much I'm not sure. Tomorrow 4am will be worse and again in the arvo. We've taken most of our low lying stock and all bikes out of the place to our other warehouse by loading it into our trucks and everything else we could get our hands on ... even my trusty Sandman came to the rescue which I made sure I kept it high and dry. (it's salt water yuk!)

As with most people in the flood affected areas around our country it will be a long, slow, smelly clean up with hopefully tales of triumph and not tragedy.

If the pics don't work let me know and give me a few pointers as I know you say it's easy but I really, really am that dumb when it comes to computers. No really, Iam. : )

See ya on the road ... Burger

Damn! ... I cant see the pics so I guess you can't either ... somehow I managed to get some into my album (the red HZ) if you want to take a look there until I can get it sorted. ta Bgr
