Getting sick of floods,3 in 1 year is pissin me off.water though my house again. put games up on pallets to save them the night before,thank pinball god.Please no more. why is the shed so big? it maybe for putting them 3+ metres off the ground.Coffs don't even have a river,just shit drainage . We get some heavy rain , a high tide , and then we sink! !!!

Sorry to hear your house got flooded again!

At least you were able to save your pins from any water damage - good thinking ahead there.

By the way, your location on your profile says Grafton - is that out of date now?

I just saw the footage on the news - just terrible. Hopefully it does not happen again, but it looks to be a re occurring problem. Strange that we are in a drought - yet places are prone to flooding.

Hi Big Dog,
            Sorry to hear about your flood issues.I'm in Ballina with similar issues 8" above high tide and no fall on the drainage.Had some machines damaged a few years back but keep them all set up on legs now.
