The Edge may have flood insurance that covers goods stored at their premises. Who knows?

All good here in Underwood

My brother and parents have got evacuation warnings up in the Strathpine area but they are ignoring it.

Any word from anyone at the edge?
The new drains worked well through Strathpine and water was all gone by this morning and didn't get too close to the houses.

And here is the Edge...

This is the jetti at The Edge.

Aerial view of The Edge and the State Library...

The walk way is only 6ft below the loading area where the arena is stored, so it might not get wet, but with the river peaking today/tomorrow, it might just end up going for a swim.

Does anyone remember where we put the antweight arena? Is it up stairs or still down with the big arena?

The river just rose up high enough to start flowing into the artifcal beach at southbank. I've just seen a video from a helicopter that showed water between the edge and the libaray. So the arena will be wet. Also showed the streets in the CBD are starting to go under.

The floating walkway has been completely trashed, too. Shocked
The damage being caused underground would be catastrophic....

Just seen the carparks under the museum, art gallery and libaray flooded. The arena is 100% wet. And the water may get 1m or more higher then this. The arena would be completly submerged tomorrow and I expect the ant weight arena to get wet no matter where we put it in the Edge.

There is a guy on a kayak in Suncorp Stadium. It is surreal. The places I used to work are under water.

FFFFFFU to think how high that was above the river level a few months ago. A-MAZING. Anyone heard from Kilkivan Andrew (dunno if its flooded up that way?)

Just saw some footage of damage at Kilkivan. Hopefully, Andrew's house is high enough not to be affected.

What a champ. I'd totally be crusing around in my speedboat if I was up there. People ask me why i have a depth sounder fitted to a speedboat - for eventualities such as this!

Yep, and the police would arrest you for pushing bow waves into peoples homes!!!!! Like they should be arresting those damn 4WD owners who do it around streets just because they want to sight see

Just seen the water over the wall where the feather arena was and mud on the second story walkway
