If anyone is interested they can come and join me in Mali... I got a 6 bedroom house to myself It is 35F and windy in New Smyrna Beach, FL, USA. Can I still come? Will bring Scotch and FL Citrus :-)
Geaux Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 thanks for that. much appreciated. was going to tough it out but when the 100 foot tree near the house on the edge of the creek came crashing down, it was time to bolt. tossed a few things in a bag and gone. quite terrifying watching that creek. was relatively low but moving this morning when i got up. then watched it rise about a foot an hour all morning and toss large logs down it like matchsticks. think the bloke who is nearly finished building the new house next door might be having second thoughts getting perilously close when i bailed. took some photos and will try and post when i get back home. if. So, now that you are high and dry and safe, my question is; what did you do with your cigars at home? Are they at risk if the flood makes it into your home? God forbid. Do you put your humi up on a chair or some such thing? In the attic? Tie it up in a tree? This is one of the many reason I prefer to live in the mountains. :-)
Garrettbuckeye Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 Yeah... Where did you leave those precious Gurkhas? If I lived close... I'd have to "rescue" them.
dflan82 Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 How is everyone holding up over there today? Hope things didn't get too bad

This is one of the many reason I prefer to live in the mountains. :-) most of my cigars stored elsewhere so not such a problem, but not o much worried about flood waters getting into the house (this flood not likely to be that bad and if it happened, most of southeast qld would go under). more that the waters will knock the house over - possible. and then i will have far more to worry about than wet cigars. going to try and get home briefly this afternoon. need my tickets for tonight's rugby.

Do keep us posted. Hope all turns out well for y'all down there.
sanity Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 I pray everything is going well and you are able to stay safe
JohnS Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 The sun is forecast to shine on Queensland on Monday, thank God. In the meantime there will be lots of cleanup!
