OMG here we go again......

Since Wednesday night Coffs Harbour has been on high flood alert. In that time we have had & are still having gale force winds & driving rain. All schools here today were closed, Bello which is about 20 minutes south/west is cut off, Lismore north/west has flooded & is also cut off & have just heard on the news that ALL of Grafton is being evacuated. We were due to have our new Fridge/Freezer delivered today or tomorrow I have asked that it be put off until the end of next week. Coffs has a number of creeks running through it, especially around where I live & these have already risen around 3 feet, high tide is due in at 6pm tonight, rather a scary feeling when it is just pelting down with so much rain. So it has been around 6 weeks since the last flood & six weeks before several parts of town flooded, it just doesn't seem to want to end! Last night Mr MP&CC & myself were out in the garage putting what we could up, should it flood & come into the house we just have nowhere to put anything, something I do not want to think about.
The photo above of our front entry way my Darlin' took in the last flood another inch & it would have been inside & we count ourselves very very lucky it was just the shed & garage out the back that copped it all. What I cannot get over is the fact we are still cleaning up from 31st March there are some people who cannot even get back into their homes yet & now they are predicting flooding either tonight or tomorrow. All I have heard all day is sirens blaring around town, I can only conclude that Mother Nature is very very CRANKY!

Oh & I wish to thank all you great ladies out there that encouraged me to embark on my new journey it really means a lot to me.

Have a great weekend & ifs it wet where you are try & stay dry....
