Thank you for the video guy’s. My family is sending their heartfelt condolences, wishing you all the best.

I hope everyone is safe. When the water receeds let me know if anyone needs help repairing their house. I will come up and help

[@markshark7521]

Thanks for clip, my mate and daughter down just past coles stuck upstairs in their house for few days now, said has plenty food and beers so if doesn't rise more should be ok, I'm just nth of Cardwell and lucky on a hill but no power and road flooded so cant go anywhere. Apparently IGA in town opened yesty but cash only! So those who think we don't need cash have never been in a disaster was same in Yasi etc. Plastic dont work when you cant use it. Stay safe everyone 🦈

[@sandrasharpe2111]

Love to all battling this.I hope you get lots of help.From Sydney.❤

[@lindarushton6502]

Thanks for showing this. I was at doctors at Ingham two weeks ago. A perfectly sunny day. I knew i was lucky with good weather for the long drive south, from near Tully. Now look at this water!! And sadly a young lady in Ingham has lost her life in this flood. Good luck for fast recovery to all at Ingham, and Cardwell, and Townsville too.

[@Imbrokeaswell]

Medical services are hit and miss in Australia. It's a lot of work to get anything done.

I live in Ingham, it's so sad😢 Keeping all in my thoughts. Stay safe, please ❤

[@backyardprojects9945]

My parents owned Roma Cafe back in the mid sixties, Majestic Cafe now occupies that site. Has that part of Lanacost St affected by the flood? We were spared from the floods of '64 and '66. In Melbourne now. Thanks for the vid.

[@johnnylom9915]

WOW "Deja Vu" I lived through the 67 flood and actually in Mcilwraith St where you were. This one looks a lot worse. Prayers to my relos friends and all who are impacted.

[@theoztreecrasher2647]

The '67 flood was worse up on the headwaters of the Herbert, but this time there has been much more rain down the coastal end and for longer.

[@leannedrury2383]

I’m so very sorry

[@dramaticallyoverhypedmonta5049]

I lived through a similar flood in 2022 here in Murwillumbah NSW. I feel your pain

So glad you guys are okay. Take it one day at a time and God bless you.

[@happyjoyjoy6976]

silly they chose to build a town on a flood plain many years ago, but this year the weather and rain is far from normal.

[@gayedawn1]

I wondered about so many houses built on stilts and thought they have had floods before. Now you confirm it was a “flood plain” but the alarmists will call it “Climate change”. Even in the outer Melbourne suburbs I saw paddocks with so much water in them and thought “poor horses”. Now it is a housing estate.

[@janeway1111]

JCU prof of hydrology on abc far north said it’s happened many times before and evidence is in the geological record

[@happyjoyjoy6976]

@@janeway1111 what they fail to mention is the entire wet seasons worth of rain in a week. weather records are manipulated sorry professor.

[@happyjoyjoy6976]

@@gayedawn1 the houses built on stumps or stilts are for 2 reasons, mostly cooling as the raised house allows airflow underneath a must in the tropics. and as you would expect to raise it above any water incursion, the far north around Ingham receives in excess of 1 meter of rainfall in a year, mostly in the wet season that spans from mid to late November until now March. flooding is a normal event for that part of the country but not on this scale.

Were many houses built on stilts because in the last 100 years or so they had other floods?

This part of FNQ have had flooding and cyclones before many times. Sugarcane growing area. Underground water is always depleted.

I was formerly living at BAMBAROO and seen this all before but not like this mayor flood , i wish all well as right now i am in Namibia please redirect all this WATER to here we need all of it asap greeting to all of you ... seen all this water flowing along main road Ingham makes me sad as a bit homesick TOO ,,, JOSCHI SEIDL

[@wemakethefutureup]

So,are we going to sit around and wait for it to get worse. I'm convinced we can drop the sea surface a few degrees and that will diminish most of the effects that we've seen from the warming. The best way to explain how, is to direct you to this one minute video: kzbin.infotwxWRCGhZqI Besides what you'll see in the video, underwater aeration, when the air is in the -30 degree range, will create ice as it rises to the surface. Pushing air 20 yards underwater defeats the thermal barrier created by the humidity coming off the unfrozen sea surface. Large compressors mounted on oil rigs would be perfect for this as they stand taller above the warmer sea water and can inject colder air than a ship mounted unit can. Kick the idea around in you head; if you think it makes sense, pass it on, especially to the powers that be.

[@missdemeanor40]

Ingham and most of the coastal towns are regularly flooded in the monsoonal wet, with the last major one in the sarly 2010s, its devestating and emotional, Yes loss of property and possessions is terrible and rips your heart out, it can be rebuilt n replaced and invonvenience the shit out of everyone.... Count ya blessins not your burdens and aoon enough you are out the other end intact and alive amongst your family, friends and stalwart and strong community Now im going to reread that before I go crazy over a misplaced item of value myselc 🤣

This happened when I was a kid livin in Townsville, way back when:) It’s funny how younger generations are often surprised by things us old c$#ts remember so vividly.

[@colingibson3098]

Chemtrails

[@augustsnowfall5189]

I have been documenting activity above my home, in pictures, because I don’t know what else to do about it. Quite often brings lightning/thunder clouds, but no rain. This is dangerous where I live because it’s heavy bush land even around the towns. Lightning has several times in the past started difficult to control bushfires. It’s been ramping up to approximately 3 days per week for months now.

[@itookallthenames]

Global warming, heating the oceans, high condensation, heavy rain. And you voted for it. Thanks a lot.

[@myspace_forever]

If you believe chemtrails did this, I urge you to not vote. Please, I'm begging you. _"Everything is a conspiracy theory when you're a moron"_

[@colingibson3098]

@@myspace_forever Assuming you are not an AI bot, I too am begging you to wake up fast, and do some basic research. Calling people "morons' because they have researched far deeper than you have and don't agree with your view, does not mean you are right, or that I should not vote. But my guess is you won't do the research and you'll stick to your deluded view rather than admit you are wrong. Almost all conspiracy theories turn out to be facts after a while, so that slur doesn't work anymore. Goodbye.

[@colingibson3098]

@@itookallthenames It's not man made global warming, it's man made weather manipulation. Man made global warming is blamed so that in turn, the general population can be blamed for it when it's actually governments doing it with their weather manipulation chemicals sprayed endlessly into the atmosphere. Don't fall for their evil. Bill Gates doesn't even hide it anymore. It's not even a conspiracy theory anymore, as they blatantly boast about it now.

[@sandramaiden4707]

Sorry people, its THE WET, normal summer weather.😅

[@colingibson3098]

Not normal, otherwise the town would not have ever been built there. It would have been built higher up if this was normal. This is caused by Chemtrails / cloud seeding. It's deliberate and it's happening more and more all over the world, as Gates and his crooked cronies in governments spray the hell out of our atmosphere.

[@marianthewriter6727]

Hmm. Did they overdo it with the cloud seeding and make it rain more than usual this wet season. Geo engineering? I know the area well. I'm from up there. It can get wet and flood the area, but not like these floods. Something fishy about all of that water flooding everything in its way.
