What a day!! Many New Farm and Teneriffe streets have been closed. But many more have remained dry and safe. The spirit of community has been overwhelming. Many locals are in the streets, at the bars or somewhere with company waiting for high tide tomorrow.
The Police have just moved all 'pedestrians' off the boardwalks at Teneriffe, that were today still above water (in front of One MacQuarrie).
Whilst a number of apartment basements have had flooding due to the back up of storm water we have not seen it take property from the River side.
The Ferry stations have been swamped and, as you can see from the photo's, will not re-cover.
The word at this stage is the peek will be about 4am tomorrow. The water rose to about 4.5m today and is likely to hit 5.5-6m tomorrow morning. If this is the case, and the rain holds off, New Farm and Teneriffe will not be as affected as previously thought.
Power has been cut to my place, but most of the area still has power. I will endevour to keep providing photo's of the flooding and then the clean up.
