The team rallied and ended up moving about 90% of all the movable items to our Yeerongpilly premise, where little me with minimal muscle mass held station. The harmful waste materials were stored in a chemical waste storage facility in the University of Queensland; hydrogen pressure vessels, prototype systems and heavy unmovable machineries were tied and bolted down. The lab itself was stripped.
When people left on the final run to Yeerongpilly at 1530, the river was lapping at the base of our P4D1 (prototype 4 development 1) and the system cage. Water level had risen 1.5m since then, to a level of 4.5m measured at the city gauge. High tide is coming in around 1430 this afternoon, and the highest level is predicted to be hit by 0400 tomorrow morning, where it is predicted to go to 5.5m, and stay high until Saturday.
Train service was temporarily suspended this morning, leaving me no choice but to call in for leave. CTO Stephanie had duly replied "Stay home!"
A few colleagues might have been evacuated from home or cut off as area surrounding their home flooded last evening.
LL went to work this morning and is sent home by the Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital just after lunch. The area around the hospital near the Suncorp Stadium is well and truely flooded.
Milton Road near the XXXX brewery
A prayer to all.
