The Day that Burpengary got flooded
We have lived in this area for the past 13 yrs and I must say we have never seen anything like it before.... We've had heavy rain before, but nothing like this....Since the moment I woke up until about 11am the rain just didn't stop.... It took me 1hr and 5mins to drive my daughter to school....only to be told to pick her up and hour later......anyway I went to work as usual and my mid morning I was just in awe of what was going on outside work.....I was walking a customer out of the store when I looked across the road and saw the intersection.....My god....i couldn't believe it....but what was even funnier was watching the idiots driving thru it......and then later in the day....kids playing in it...I think we lost count of the amount of cars that got stuck in it.....The shops around us were all closing so i decided to do the same.....just as i was leaving the sun was starting to shine.....but the funny thing was.....there was an eery feeling around.....like you were in the eye of a storm....maybe I'm weird but it was just strange.....
As usual, Glenn missed it all and was sleeping..... So i went home and when he woke up he wanted to go for a drive and see for himself....by the time we got down, the sun was well and truly out and had a bit of sting to it and the water had started to go down......We also wanted to look at the bridge that is the centre of our lives as we drive over it up to 4 times a day......
Now check this out....The bridge has a walkway that goes under the highway......here is the street light leading under the bridge....
And this is the local park....
They say we have more rain on the way......If you have to drive in it....please be safe
