ahh i remember this, our car got flooded...good old newcastle ay lol
-
wow that was a lot of flood water
-
let's not forget about those people that lost their lives in this storm. It just shows how unpredictable nature is & that we can't be prepared for anything.

There was an NRMA ad on for a few months afterwards with footage of the storm here with that INXS track over the top. Footage of the floods and the houses crushed by trees etc. They were going on about people they'd rehomed etc....
If only I was insured by NRMA!!
-
what nrma ad would that be???
-
i actually work on samdon street just near those lights at sunnyside auto electrics. it was freaky and i had to leave customers cars across the road cause i couldnt moce them back into our workshop

WOW! Talk about close to home.
I lived on Cleary Street, right near where you were near Samdon Street. My old house is actually on that NRMA ad.
:-(
Thanks for posting though.

Samdon street, which you filmed, is right around the corner from my house. I was driving back from work and had to leave my car on Brunker road and walk through the water to get home. It was nuts!
I'd like to share my disgust to the looters who went out of there way to steal ambulance gear. Utter amazement I was in when I found out. We just had a natural disaster and people are robbing the people who most likely would of saved there lives.
Never the less great footage, I'm from Rankin Park.
No damage from where I was.
I was strandard at sandgate for a couple of ours Hectic few days!

Same here! there is ambulance in the video and i think that was the one stranded in the city.
It would have been one of the stupidest and low things i have heard about in a long time.
Glad to here you got through it ok!
