Thank you Everyone

@Former-Member, Stay safe, and evacuate if neccessary.

Take care of yourself

yeah. im strugglign abit myself tonight too. @Heart

@Former-Member, We are here if you need to talk.

Have you done anything to get yourself ready if you do need to evacuate. If it help I can give you a list of thing you may need to get together.? I don't want to worry you but you will need to think about it if needed.

We got flooded in for 4 day a couple of years ago and I know from this what I didn't do. We also lost power for those days.

May I just give you a few things to do to help you out.

1. put what needs to be charged on charge now: Mobile phone, Laptop if you have one. Rechargeable batteries and torchers.

2. Freeze water to use as Ice bricks. Fill your freezer up with these as it will help prevent food from spoiling.

3. do you have any medication that you need if you do get evacuated. Put it all in a container to take with you. Is there any fridge medication?

4. Pack a small going away bag and have it by the door. Put a note on it to grab medication that may be in the fridge.

Let someone know that you may be get evacuated. Someone from not around your area.

Hope this helps.

@Former-Member it's beautiful, I love bling! Sparkles that catch any light and reflect it 10 fold with sparkles! 🙂

thanks @Former-Member

@Heart i think we will be alright. we are kindof on a hill so we would be one of the last ones to be evacuated but a few surrounding areas are trying to get out now. the rains dyed off abit for the moent so tat should help get rid of some of the water for now. i think today and tomorrow is going to be the worst so we are all on stand by for the moment. we can still drive areound our local area for the moment hopefully it doesnt close off all of the roads

i dont think i can talk about my issues. i think it would be triggering for many as it meantions alot of depressing things @Heart

Hi @Former-Member

Sorry to jump in - I just saw this post.

I'm sorry to hear that you feel you can't share your issues. You're so thoughtful thinking about others.

My suggestion would be:

1) Check out the Community Guidelines to ensure the content doesn't breach those (it outlines triggers that we won't allow in the Forums)

2) Start a new thread, giving the title of the thread a title that's relevant to the title, so then people can make the decision themselves.

We are moderating behind the scenes too, so we can let you know if there's any concerns.

Take care,

Nik

thanks @Heart for the ideas.

@Former-Member. I can't speak for anyone else, but I can for myself. I want you to talk about anything you want/need to. If I'm 'triggered' (thank you for teaching me what that means - and I guess it's when i burst into tears whilst reading) I'll get off for a while - but I'll come back on. I think everybody here has different strengths, if mine fails you . . . one of your Butterflies will catch you before you fall 😄

weve just been given word that we are very unlikeley to be evacuated due to the area ahving a pretty good run off and it jsut so happened all the gutters where cleared out last week so they have a good flow through them.

we still have our things ready but its good to know that it very unlikeley. @Heart

thanks @NikNik i might do that
