So we are residents of Ipswich, QLD. And as of this afternoon our town has received 20 plus meters of water creating floods. Now to clarify we are safe and dry and our home was not threatened. Thank you Lord!! But devastatingly our town is in very bad shape. Below are some photos taken earlier on before the flood waters reached their peak level. In fact after these photos were taken the water continued to rise a further 3.5 meters.
this is a school church and the "pond" in front of it is actually the oval.
this is a home in woodend
woodend again
water down the main street
Ipswich shops drowning :O(
main street on right hand side building the green is actually the balcony of the first floor.
water is approx. 1.5m from lapping it.
This is where the one mile bridge should be
and this is the saddest picture i have seen. This home belongs to a friend of mine.
and this was taken hours before the water level reached its peak.
i cant begin to tell you how much this made me cry.
I am happy to report that she and her family are safe.
