![]() ‘Now my nine-year-old thinks floods are normal.’ Then a flood came, and we thought, “that’s that”. ‘We thought we probably wouldn’t see a flood in our life, and we loved the house. Ms Saint said when she and Andrew bought their home in 2017, they asked around and were told the area last flooded in 1978 – 50 years earlier. ‘We would love some kind of buyback scheme.’ ‘The government should never have built these houses,’ she said. Jodie Saint says the couple wants to see a government buy-back scheme made available for people affected as they are. ‘Anyway, what are we going to say in the online ad? Underwater property for sale?’ ‘But it’s a moral issue too, what unsuspecting family would we be putting through the same thing we’ve been through? ![]() ‘It’s heartbreaking, we were getting close to the point where we could sell it, but not now,’ Mr Ott said. Their home flooded again, for the third time this year. Jodie, a disability support worker, and Andrew, a metal fabricator, spent $40,000 fixing up their home after floods in March when heavy rain in early July led to Warragamba Dam spilling thousands of gigalitres of water into the valley. The plan to to raise the dam wall would introduce flood management processes into the way the dam is run. It is understood the dam was built as a water supply and has no flood mitigation procedures at all. However a statement from WaterNSW said: ‘Releasing water from Warragamba Dam early to mitigate downstream flooding is currently not authorised and would potentially increase flood risk and damage.’ With the possibility of more flooding to come in spring they have demanded authorities lower the levels of Warragamba Dam to prevent further chaos. The local partly blamed the floods on the strategic release of the Warragamba Dam to prevent it overflowing, but which then sends flood water crashing downstream into the Hawkesbury-Nepean Valley ‘When it’s over, we’ll sit with here with a wine on our jetskis and keep making great new memories.’ ![]() ‘A lot of friends said, “I guess you’re leaving now? I said, “no, why would we do that?” Mrs Brennan told Daily Mail Australia. Like many locals, Brennan believes lowering the level of the dam to about 70 per cent full when heavy rain is forecast will stop the need for extra water being released from the dam back into rivers after days of rain.īecause their home is up a road, it escaped the water, but the family lost two cabins, a gazebo, a car and a boat.īut she says the family won’t be leaving. If that isn't true art, I don't know what is.Residents of the bowl-like Hawkesbury Nepean valley faced life-threatening flood conditions at the start of July, with 50,000 people placed under evacuation ordersĭawnmarie Brennan, a Canadian ex-pat who met her husband as a backpacker while he was riding a motorbike on the Nullarbor plain, wants the dam levels lowered to stop another repeat of damage from the third flood she’s experienced in 18 months. What I say wow to is how they will be taking me, as a man, and making me feel the way a woman stripping for a sleazeball does, degraded and desperate. Yes, if taken out of context, I can see how it can be seen as sexy, but i have a hard time watching this video without thinking about the other side to it (that and I'm married as well, so my needs are easily met elsewhere). But seeing the SixAxis icon pop up was disturbing for me. It's an entirely different video when taken out of context and presented as a short clip (as it is here) and if you couldn't see that you will actually be controlling what she is doing. Matter of fact I'll probably not be able to wait till I can dance over to that lamp and bash that degenerate in the head. With you having an attachment to the character and having a sleazy NPC force you to strip, I know that for me, I'll have a near impossible time being turned on by it. Seeing that you have to control what she is doing with SixAxis motion control, to me, this becomes a much different scenario. Yes the graphics are amazing, but all I can think about is how attached to her character we will be by that point in the game and how much the makers of the game have emphasized that it is going to be an emotional roller coaster to play, the gamer will have a deep caring for the characters and that tough choices in the game will emotionally affect the gamer (at least this is what they are gunning for from what I've read).
