Re: not coping

My day's been ok @outlander. But it was a tough afternoon at the op shop. We had a woman who kept coming in and stealing things from us. There's a lot more to the story but in the end I needed to call the police to deal with her. It was quite stressful.

Re: not coping

Glad you're safe and on high ground @outlander .

I am on high ground here too ... but just cannot go anywhere right now. Not that I have a problem in staying at home. Its just a problem for hubby to get home. I'm nowhere near Sydney, I'm on the mid north coast. Yeah its a large area!

But hubby will need to drive through Sydney tomorrow on his way home. Well not him, as he isnt driving ... his friend is. But at present he wont be able to get home coz we are blocked off. Not trees or damage, its major river flooding and inundation. I think at the moment he would likely get to about 20kms from home. Yeah, if they cannot get home, they would need to stay at a hotel/motel somewhere. They may even decide to stay where they are (Southern Highlands) and wait until they know they can make it home. I saw on the news about the mini tornado in Sydney ... scary stuff. I would be really afraid in the midst of that. I detest strong and destructive winds.

Hi @Sans911 😊🌸

Re: not coping

Oh dear @Sans911 thats not good. What a trouble maker!

We're pretty safe here atm, we've had about 90mls of rain but its on and off heavy so theres abit of a chance for waters to subside. Hopefully it stays that way but expecting another 100-150mls again tomorrow and overnight

Re: not coping

Im quite in a low lying area but horses are up higher. Its usually ok here-fingers crossed i havent jynxed myself now @Emelia8

Im glad your safe and hubby will be fine where he is until its safe to go home. Hopefully rain eases, think its flooded enough areas. Even 3 dams are over flowing now, last year we were on such strict water restrictions it was hard to even have a normal length shower

Re: not coping

Yes exactly @outlander ... only 18 months ago we were in the middle of the biggest drought in a very long time in these parts. Then we had all the major bushfires in this area. Now the floods.

Well .. fingers crossed you remain okay with all the extra rain you will likely have over the coming days.

Off to bed ... good night all.
