Brisbane Floods 2011

So, I’ll start this off, I’m currently in the middle of the Brisbane CBD monitoring one of the many datacentres located within the city. We’re on the 21st floor of a non-inundated (yet anyway) building but water is starting to lap all around us. The Brisbane river is starting to break into Eagle St while the storm water drains at Albert Street are starting to push water out. We’re lucky, we’ve got 24hrs of fuel loaded into the generator and at least another 48hrs of fuel stock piled here so the facility shouldn’t be affected. We’ll be isolated though so I’ll try to continue to provide updates.

For now, here’s a photo of the water as it stands as of an hour ago:
