Update. Not home. So working on radio stories for the morning. What else is a stranded journo supposed to do?

If you need information, assurance or just need to hear a comforting voice, tune into @CathyBorder on @abcbrisbane now for all your flood info. She’s the best in the business.

[Seqwater @Seqwater]

1/3 Seqwater is continuing to plan for gated releases at Wivenhoe Dam in the early hours of Sunday morning.

Releases from Wivenhoe take 16-24 hours to reach Brisbane.
The high tide occurring in Brisbane at 7am tomorrow morning will therefore not be affected by these releases.

@JamesHannon82 Could be a hoax. My son gets texts from Ticketek and his texts don’t have the AU on the end.

[donna thorne @thornedonna]

@Ticketek_AU I just got a text saying my NRL GF tickets have been cancelled. But no email/correspondence. What’s going on?

[Tom Steinfort @tomsteinfort]

The end of an era! @JulianBAbbott read his final 7:45 bulletin this morning. There are still nine to go until the flagship radio bulletin finishes on ABC radio. But it was Julian's last, so he took a minute to thank everyone involved over the years. #abcradio #abcnews
