Mainly spots. Shouldn't be much. A high pressure system is coming in. There's some rain coming in from the west but should die well b4 Sydney.

Not really my thing though. I deal with the shit once it hits the ground.

And my arse you're not training - as long as there's vodka in the house I'm sure you're training hard 8-)
Fkn oath my bro, my biceps are exploding lol

Where is Scomo in all of this?
We know he takes the easy way out sometimes but can you really blame politicians for not knowing it was going to flood that bad?
What do you want him to do?

Worst thing about fucking roof leaks, could be a hole one side of the house and it’s getting water damage the other side
Runs along trusses etc, nightmare to find sometimes
Yh I used to have possums so that also didn't help the roof situation lol.

That’s so lucky
Must of been a horrific 24 hrs for the parents
The heartbreak that all of these people must feel now, and over the coming years, at losing all their possessions, kids photos/trinkets/littlies artwork etc and special family heirlooms and momentos will be devastating for them to handle.

The scale of these floods in NSW/QLD is incredible.

"It comes after a tumultuous week for the PM as he visited flood-ravaged northern NSW and southeast Queensland, with many airing their anger about not getting five minutes with the PM, and their heartbreak about the slow government response, as ABC reports. Former Fire and Rescue NSW chief commissioner Greg Mullins wrote to Morrison that it was like Black Summer all over again, continuing his group, Emergency Leaders for Climate Action, met with the government in October to warn about massive flooding risks in the summer. If the government had implemented the findings of the Royal Commission into Natural Disaster Arrangements, Mullins continued, victims would’ve been better prepared. A TV flood appeal saw some $25 million raised for the victims at the weekend, The New Daily reports, while $36 million has been allocated by the federal government.

The SMH reports this morning that the NSW government made three formal requests for Australian Defence Force (ADF) troops for Lismore — but it wasn’t until five days later the state government heard there were 2000 troops available. The state government’s Resilience NSW commissioner Shane Fitzsimmons only heard about the troop numbers from a journalist, who had obtained Emergency Services Minister Bridget McKenzie’s media statement."

I fckn hear ya. Went to the dog park today and there's a MF eucalypt that has a cross branch I might be able to touch if jumped. Had to duck under it today. Checked the roots on the other side and up about a foot. Thing is sloped at about 30d. If it goes, its straight across the whole dog park. Calling the council tomorrow.
