We Are Thankful...........

I got to town yesterday..But not this way...I can only get out by 4wD so I got a lift with Bruce and he was able to get me in to Toowoomba. Wishing now I hadn't sold Greg's 4WD...hmmmmm
My business is fine and the water was only meters away from coming in. The road was all washed away out the front of my workshop, but the wonderful Toowoomba council have already fixed it. It is going to take along time to rebuild our beautiful town but the people here are strong and hard workers.

I woke up this morning to the power being restored.....How I don't know if you had of seen the state of the power lines and poles you would think that energex are miracle workers. When I turned the light on in the pantry this is what greeted me. Above, as the pantry is dark things have been dumped and pulled out, my goodness what a mess.

The kitchen has been the hub of the home the last week, leads running every way food on counters as it was to dark to see in cupboards.....

But here we have been blessed,

we have a generator and had power to run the small fridge and lights,

my daughter Chloe was not at Grantham when the water hit,

my sister in law was stranded in Toowoomba when the wall of water went through Murphy's Creek.

Yes we have alot to be thankful for. Please keep the people of Grantham in your prayers as the SES try to get in and recover the bodies wedged under the bridge still in there cars. Pray for those still trying to find there loved ones.

For the 100s of people here that have nothing left.

Yes the Storey's are blessed and we are thankful, we are all safe and are able to continue living in our home....

Blessings
