What suburb you at Akky82? Problem around here now is too much development in the low lands, it can't handle drainage, so we get these massive floods now, were as we previously wouldn't.
I had a grand adventure that night. Started off at Aspley, I found out on last Monday that I had left just in time, the street out from the car park was almost under, just deep water gutters, but it ended up flooding into work and destroying the front office completely, and they were up hill from the road. It was real bad.
Anyway, I left work at 4:30, managed to get through to Brendale, after a water crossing (flooding really), on beams near bridgeman, then went through two more water crossings on leitches road, I could still see gutters and lines, but there were still people hesitant to go through, man I love my rally car.And following big utes. Heh.
Made it to Strathpine after having to be forced back from the football fields along Samsonvale road, they looked way too bad even for my car and experience, gotta know when to call it. If you can't see the road or guides like gutters, and the water is running fast, forget it. And never go around closed road signs. And there were also popped manhole covers too, a bloke at work told me he was close to hitting an open hole.
Last flood I plowed through down from pine rivers high in the right lane, everyone was in the left, so I left them there. Made it to the pool at Lawnton, and it was a ghost town. Straight run to Petrie, rain had stopped too. Got some dinner and was home just after 6:30.
I got lucky that night and made my own luck too. Next time we all agreed that if this sort of thing happens again, we're all just going to go home early, customers can come back with their cars another day.
