Suncorp Stadium on Fire

[Dutchy]

T20 and ODI's should be moved from QLD. What QLDers are going to want to spend money on cricket with this going on, let alone even get there.

I suspect that this will take months to clean up and repair. I suspect we may see some games moved to Robina.
But that's hardly a major concern right now. Unless, that is, you work for the Courier Mail.

Ones that have already bought tickets probably.

I'm sure the greedy bastards at ticketek or whoever will refund them considering the circumstances.

Gabba should be OK

I would have thought a distraction in the form of national culture and tradition would be the absolute best thing for them. I know if something like this happened to me, a game of footy would be a great boost to the spirits.

It's right next to the station.

Clearly shows Lang Park being partially inundated, so pretty good predictions there.

the modelling will work off the contours of the land, and it's approximation to sea level..

predicting where a flood will go is pretty easy..

 

[Mr Angry]

Must say the BCC maps are proving very accurate, that said they should be.

Makes me feel safe.

The wife is bugging to go for drive and film some stuff, have resisted.

10mins in any direction (jindalee-oxley-inala) are under.

Holy sh*t!

 

[Mr Angry]

Will only get worse, 4am tomorrow will be bad.

My mother in law is currently doing chemo treatment, the sort of thing you cannot miss, took my wife 3 hours to get to the PA, usually a 20 minute drive, had to way south to get there.

 

[Timbo]

This will stuff the turf and the drainage, not to mention I imagine repairing the electrical damage to the stadium will be a low priority.

I'll be very suprised if the Broncos are playing their early matches there.

That sounds a bit like "this ship is unsinkable" or "St George will never win a premiership with Soward";-)

 

[applesauce]

I am getting up early tomorrow and heading to Kangaroo Point for some photos and then see if I can help out.

 

[Mr Angry]

Dont get to close, it will be high all tomorrow.

canard - predicting where the flood will reach is easy..

its stopping the water that brings us unstuck..
