Caryl Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 Here is the river that runs through the middle of our town. The water level had dropped by the time I took these pics. At its height it was 1m below the top of the stop banks. You can see in pic 7998 the debris stuck in the bridge from when it was at its height. river Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrienne Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 Glad to see you are obviously alright - was a bit worried knowing what that river can be like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted July 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 All fine in our house thanks adidge. Had water running down the gas fire flu though and towels along the ranchslider as water was forced through with the wind. The back door is sticking badly. Hopefully it will be fine once it dries out :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wok Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 Caryl.. Is your pond still a pond or is it now a LAKE?!!!! :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted July 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 Our place is built on the old river bed so water drains very quickly. The pond did not overflow as water just ran over the rocks around the edge and disappeared. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
