    Ok so I've got power today, no water though and fkn exhausted!

    I was at work in the bottle store at the time which is centered approximately halfway between the CBD and the epicentre... I had unloaded about 10 pallets of beer into the chiller and was unloading some more boxes as it hit, standing in the middle of our U shaped shelving for spirits with pallets of booze blocking my exit I had no choice but to step up and hold on as thousands of bottles of spirits fell around me as I watched my fellow staff members try to escape, there was about 1ft deep of broken glass and bottles around me so thankfully I had a halfpallet to step up onto.

    It was like watching people who had been spinning in circles dizzied after 5 minutes run in a straight line, my two workmates falling over in an attempt to get out, one of our reps who is pregnant ran for the door and went flying sideways into our tills and has massive bruising up her arm.

    As it starts to calm down a little I had my chance to get to the door seeing the massive brick buildings across the road from us crumble and clouds of dust fill the streets,

    After about 5 minutes of being outside and people in hysterics and chaos I hear yelling and see a man over at the 24hr Night and Day almost throwing blows, as I go over I find its over a bottle of water he ran in and grabbed and refused to pay for, the shopkeeper was demanding for him to pay for it (a good thing as others looked like they were about to follow suit and raid the place) thankfully nobody got any fists in the head..

    Later in the evening as my boss popping into work again I got a text saying looters so I instantly hopped in the car with the forgetme stick and my flatmate and shot down there.. A couple of local customers (live about 300m away) had jimmied the side of the rear roller door open and were trying to get beer out to the other guy..

    So after some hard work of putting 4 empty pallets on their edge 2 high 2 wide and stacking up some pallets and pushing them against the door it was finally secure, 20 minutes later I was outside (the alcohol fumes are killer!) having a well deserved beer...

    And thats pretty much how day one ended, lots of stuff in the middle like driving the subaru justy in 1m of water to get down flooded streets (thankgod for 4wd mode) but i deserve some sleep, if i can get any that is so ill tell you about the rest later...

    Stay Safe

    Judge: Where you doing burnouts as per the photo?

    You: No we had a portable smoke machine there and photoshopped the blur into the wheel.

    Mate actually has a smoke machine and a inverter would be fun to do outside the copshop, 2 tubes down to the back wheels maybe?

    I slipped around a corner in the wet on an uneven surface, pulled over and got ripped from my car and handcuffed, done for sustained loss of traction and my car got my impounded, way overdone by police i was polite and pulled over straight away not much i could do though.

    When it went to court it was changed to careless driving so i couldnt exactly fight it - I lost it in the wet..

    Just an example but sometimes theres not much you can do about it, i did alot of reading of the laws and of past cases, you pretty much have to state it 100% clearly that the law does not apply for this instance. Dont make excuses like 'its impossible for my car to do this' it wont work..
