calm before the floods by koalagardens

calm before the floods

just before the rain all started - I am safe as I live high on a hill, but we are having the worst flood event, possibly on record and it is still raining. to all 365 members in south QLD and northern NSW, please stay home and stay safe. search floods Lismore NSW to see my closest town 😞
oh no, stay high and dry.
February 27th, 2022  
Oh Katrina! Fires last year, now floods, the world's weather, and politics, is bonkers.
February 27th, 2022  
I do hope that the weather calms…asap!
February 27th, 2022  
Sitting up high and dry , a lovey comfortable pose ! But , ooh ! Katsina , do stay safe ! What is happening to this planet .. nothing makes sense any more ..
February 27th, 2022  
Praying for better weather!
February 27th, 2022  
Oh my. I’m glad you are safe! Certainly hope all will be well.
February 27th, 2022  
Please stay safe.
February 27th, 2022  
the weather has been so bad globally. glad you are safe and praying for all affected by these rains.
February 27th, 2022  
I hope you are okay, watching Lismore flood at the moment.
February 28th, 2022  
@sugarmuser thanks Sharon, I'm safe as my property is high on a hill, but I'm very close to Lismore so it's very distressing to know how bad it is in there and getting worse by the hour 😞
February 28th, 2022  
So dry and fires just a couple of years ago and now this. Fingers crossed for your neighbours on lower ground.
February 28th, 2022  
Bullet looks so calm in his perch. Hope you stay safe and your neighbours too!
February 28th, 2022  
Thinking of you! We have a reprieve today with only a drizzle of rain & even blue sky but, told the rain will be back in a couple of days.
February 28th, 2022  
Stay safe
February 28th, 2022  
Great shot. It looks very relaxed. Good luck, stay safe. Hopefully things will start to improve soon.
February 28th, 2022  
It looks dreadful - hopefully it all stops soon and you can all dry out!
February 28th, 2022  
He looks like a pole dancer! Hope the rain stays away and that you all will remain safe.
February 28th, 2022  
Hang on tight! It's been so bad down your way Katrina. Unbelievable amounts of rain. I hope you have and the koalas have been safe.
February 28th, 2022  
Sorry to hear that you are so close to the Lismore floods. I hope you stay clear. My extended family is closer to Grafton and they are flooded but OK.
February 28th, 2022  
Sorry to hear about the floods, stay dry and safe
February 28th, 2022  
How lucky it is that koalas live high in trees! Stay safe.
February 28th, 2022  
There has been so much damage caused and with more rain forecast I fear that it will get worse.
February 28th, 2022  
Great capture of Bullet holding on.Hope the rain ceases soon.
February 28th, 2022  
Sensible Koala surveying the land - stay safe
February 28th, 2022  
Glad to hear that you and your koalas are safe.
March 1st, 2022  
Great shot
March 1st, 2022  
Wow- it seems like we were just worried about a drought. I'm glad to hear your property is elevated and not prone to the flooding. I hope your neighbors in Lismore will make it through this storm without too much loss. Looks like Bullet is willing to lend a paw if they need it. Good shot.

Good morning, Katrina is currently without power, surrounded by flood water and has been for s few days. Her spirits are up, and she says she's not as badly off as others in the state ( even though the food in the fridge has gone off!)

Her mum asked me to let you know and not to worry that she's not uploading at present,

@olivetreeann @swchappell @sugarmuser @365anne @beryl

Just had a WhatsApp from K, no power for another day, she's conserving phone power and her spirits raised when she got a message to say "they" know she's isolated and are working on reconnecting power in next two days! I cannot imagine how she's doing as I'm sure she's frantic for her koalas!!!
March 2nd, 2022  
@30pics4jackiesdiamond thanks for the news !
March 3rd, 2022  
Brings to mind Daisy from the Great Gatsby...a bit nose-in-the-air!

Hello all. A message from Katrina............. she is now on a general ward, has managed to get some sleep and hopes to be discharged home tomorrow. She's raring to get back to her camera and to reading all her messages here on 365 and on FaceAche.

She's very grateful to Nada and sue @njmom3 and @wakelys for sorting her current challenges

Hopefully the next update will be from Katrina herslf and then her mum @happysnaps can relax too xxx
March 9th, 2022  
@30pics4jackiesdiamond Thank you for the update Jackie.

🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 For healing & safety.
March 9th, 2022  
@30pics4jackiesdiamond Thanks for the updates. I have had a kidney stone- they are excruciatingly painful!!

Katrina- I hope when you can see this again you'll see how many people were pulling for you and the koala kids! You're in all our thoughts and prayers.
March 10th, 2022  
@30pics4jackiesdiamond Much appreciate the updates Jackie! Hopefully she will be home soon and happily snapping those koalas.
March 10th, 2022  
Just dropped in to check up on you Katrina and to make sure you were not affected by the floods in Lismore and was pleased to see that you was high and dry. Then saw Jackie's posting your operation. Hope that you are recovered and home soon. I'll bet the koalas are missing you.
March 11th, 2022  
@30pics4jackiesdiamond Thank you for the updates. So sorry to hear about her kidney stone on top of everything else! I've had a few and they are nasty, hopefully her's has passed without too much discomfort. Hope that the flood waters are receding and she's getting her power restored soon, if not already.
March 11th, 2022  
@30pics4jackiesdiamond Thanks for the updates Jackie.
Katrina - I am so sorry to hear about what you have been through. To be isolated while your town floods so terribly must have been heart breaking enough, but to then have to be hospitalized is just ghastly. I hope you are on the road to recovery.
Poor Lismore has shown such amazing community spirit to save so many lives. Hopefully the Gov will be shamed into actually looking for a way to prevent it happening again......
Fingers crossed that the koalas are all OK. :)
March 13th, 2022  
Thinking about you and hoping you are on your way to recovery. You are missed.

Katrina should now be home, when I whtasapped her on Friday she was packing her bags to leave hospital. I know she is going to be touched by your messages, and probably a bit emotinoal, what with all the cr*p that has happened around her ill health.

She will be back here soon, updating us about her koalas, her property after the flooding and her health (in that order I'm sure!)

March 14th, 2022  
@30pics4jackiesdiamond thank you for the updates. Good to hear she is back at home. Continued prayers for recovery.
March 14th, 2022  
Thanks Jackie . I guess I missed the initial discussion because I did not know she had been in the hospital.
March 14th, 2022  
@30pics4jackiesdiamond Thanks for keeping us updated Jackie.
March 14th, 2022  
@30pics4jackiesdiamond Thanks Jak, glad to know that Katrina is Ok!
March 14th, 2022  
@grammyn The notice about her going into the hospital may have been on her mother’s site.
March 14th, 2022  
@shutterbug49 thanks Debbie.
March 14th, 2022  
@30pics4jackiesdiamond Thanks for keeping us all updated, glad to see her back today, safe and hopefully on the mend
March 15th, 2022  
@30pics4jackiesdiamond Thanks for keeping us posted Jackie!


And welcome home Katrina! I know how you feel- it will one year since my Covid bout in a few weeks and I still remember wanting nothing more than to go home while I recuperating after my 9 day induced coma while I was on the ventilator. I'm glad you're on your way to full health!
