Welcome to Brissy, FusionX! LMAO, you've got some kind of timing.
Most important thing first: The Pig & Whistle at Riverside in the CBD is the only pub you'll ever see a hockey game in. Pretty much playoffs only, though. NHL Gamecenter is your friend.
The evacuation question isn't a simple answer. I live on an acreage out in Mount Crosby, and my house is atop a nice big hill. Sweet.... if I could get there. Both roads into Mount Crosby are flooded out, and will probably stay that way until at least the weekend. So I'm staying at my g/f's house, which is in Cannon Hill, right on the edge of what flooded in '74. I knew I shouldn't have gone to work today. Might have to move, we'll keep a close eye on things. Better go buy some underwear, too. My office is hooped if the water comes up, it's on Coronation Drive 100m from the river (if you're near UQ in St. Lucia or Taringa or something, then very close to you), and the water went halfway up the first floor in '74. So anyway, short answer is that I won't have to evacuate, I'm just homeless and probably on vacation for a while.
If you're trying to figure out what the likelihood of flooding hitting your home is, this is a good resource.
http://lexiphanic.com/floodmaps/ The one for your suburb should give you an indication, and the one showing the flood extent in '74 again gives some idea. Of course, who knows what's actually gonna happen tomorrow and especially Thursday.
I use PhotoBucket, but I think other options are probably as good or better, it's just what I've used for years. It works.
Edit: great photos, FusionX. Can't wait to see what it looks like when the flood hits over the next couple of days. Yup... the flood hasn't even hit yet.
