My Backyard is Flooded!

I had water up to my back door, but that's not why I'm posting, this video is why..

youtube.com...

I share the direct link so it can be watched full screen and in HD.

This is where I live. And it's rather wet.

Well on the other side of the coin mate, flamin dry/hot here in the Northern Rivers NSW. Hope all gets better over west coast.

kind regards

Pubs not flooded though is it , if so , the horror . On topic , yes it looks a little damp , would send some of this SA heat up there , but hey , its the Pilbara .

a reply to: bally001

Yeah I see that, luckily no big bush fires though!

And it's great here! Plenty of puddles to take the fourby for a splash in now

a reply to: hutch622

Nah the pubs aren't, but Main Street was for a while. A few little cars didn't make it.

And it's still 30 here, plenty warm

so are the fish biting ?

a reply to: Chadwickus

All the same you live in a beautiful place, bit too flat for me but the view's just seem to go on forever.

As long as it does not cause damage to your home, best of luck.

a reply to: Chadwickus

About the 1:44 mark it appears someone's roof (or part of it) has blown off. Is that a result of storms that caused the flooding or a tornado?
It looks devastating for the region. Is this type of flooding (perhaps not to this degree) typical for the area this time of year?
Good that your home has been spared, continued good luck!

a reply to: Chadwickus

When you get flooded down there, are you apt to get those venomous spiders and snakes forced into your area looking for high ground?

a reply to: Chadwickus

Ah....

That could present a problem or two! Sorry to hear that your locality has been so utterly inundated of late. Here's hoping for a change in the weather!

I can probably jump in here and the answer is yes , the real bad spiders are on the East coast but they probably have redbacks , see avatar . Snakes on the other hand , it really doesn't matter if you get bitten by the first , second , or third most deadly snake in the world . Without looking it up i think there are garden varieties of the brown snake , best not to get bit . On a side note i recently found out brown snakes are part of the black snake family , i thought it was the other way around .

Don’t let the innocuous name of this snake fool you, 1/14,000 of an ounce of its venom is enough to kill an adult human

Suck it up Chad, we're about to get 18" of snow here in New Jersey which means a certain jackass will most likely be shoveling his roof later.

About to? We're already under at least a foot a few hours north. On my way out this morning the front stairs had already disappeared. I did the only thing you can do in the northeast when you're in a hurry and nature has decided to remind you of where you live: jump, tuck and roll.

Still, I'd much rather deal with this than flooding. Best of luck to you, sirs.

That sound you hear is the world's tiniest violin playing "My Heart Bleeds for You".

You can always turn the backyard into a pool and go swimming. Have a party. Invite some friends. Drink some beer.

Will be a bumper barra season I'm told!

a reply to: TNMockingbird

It could be, that area is called Roebourne, it's rather a rough part of town

a reply to: butcherguy

They do indeed.

I shared the couch with a king brown the other night..

Thing is , he can walk on your snow .

a reply to: TrueBrit

There were no real major problems really, a few road closures.

Just a lot of rain in a very short amount of time! Just has no where to go

It's about 6" now but expected to get much worse. It was 60* yesterday, I went from banana hammock to looking like I'm Canadian.
