Flash flooding again, worse than last 2 times, by the time i got home the water in the driveway was above the sandbags my neighbour thankfully put out, but too high this time, only got about 4 inches through the garage, 2-3 inches through downstairs. Wife had prepared better before going off to work so nothing really damaged, but skirting in the garage has come unsealed at the bottom on one side, top on the other, and the doorway to kitchen has swollen.Originally Posted by kovert
Went out to get more sandbags and plastic to help other neighbours but got stuck in traffic for 3.5+ hours. By the time i got my wife from work and got home it had all drained, but the muddy water left a mess and a half (and leaves in the garage). All in all not so bad in the end just lost my weekend though (including an hour with the hair dryer on the bottom of the couch). Body corporate better get it's act together about the state government owned pensioners units draining into our land.
Side note i was wading through 8 inches and stopped to video the torrent of water coming from next door as proof when a sneaky floating recycling bin came up behind me and knocked me on my ass, and dropped my phone. Had it in rice within 10 minutes and its all good but somehow... its bent (iphone 5s). So yeah, still no proof to show /sigh
Edit: also might've had a powr surge, only thing i had left on was my modem which was dead, but it was 6-7 years old and i had a spare (which was intended to replace my old one 2 uears ago but the bad line at my old place it couldnt handle, drop outs all the time so i kept using the old one, but the newish one works perfect now), though the net was down til early sunday morning anyway.
