>>4030944About 4 or 5 months now and I have an actual story.
>On a trip to a national park>Plan to stay a few days, driving there and back with 2 cars>Last day and a storm rolls in on the drive home>Except this isnt a normal storm>Ex-tropical cyclone floods everything at a rate never seen before>Half a meter of water in 6 hours>Flash-flooding>Highway collapses>Try to get home on back roads>Spend valuable time changing a flat tire for a helpless woman stuck on a steep hill>Last road home is now completely flooded further along>Realize we have to backtrack through areas that were now way deeper than before>Have to either go through these dangerous crossings or risk spending the night in the middle of nowhere in rising floodwaters>White car dies in the deepest crossing>Have to tow it 20 miles to the nearest town>Everyone is stranded in the storm>All roads out are closed>No accommodation is left>Have to spend the night on the street>Hear on the radio about people literally being swept away on crossings >Realize how bad the whole situation is>Somehow find hotel room in the morning>Wait out the receding waters a couple daysI realize later I could have documented the whole thing a lot better, but I know a lot more now. This pic was the worst crossing where the white car died. This only happened in January. Search up ex-tropical cyclone Seth south-east queensland. Its all verifiable. Shit was fucking nuts.
This picture was the moment I realized I liked photography.
