Yes, I'm in the sunshine coast and have experienced all of the above. We were cut off from school by flooding for about a week, a drive that usually took 15 minutes was taking at least an hour because of the long detour. And our roof has leaked. At least we didn't need to put water in the pool ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

But the mould ... that was the worst. I'm going to smell of vinegar and clove oil for the rest of my life.

Whats the connection between mold, vinegar and clove oil? Are those used to treat or prevent surface mold?

Vinegar is a a mild acid that's good for cleaning and carrying other things you might want to distribute.

Clove oil is quite effective at killing mold at very low doses. It's also got a number of other useful properties.

They are, and we've found them effective (thankfully my area in Brisbane has been mostly dry this past month, so we seem to have it under control). They've been so popular they were selling out of the supermarkets for a little while; when the rain was dogscatting down some wag on reddit asked what we rename 'The Sunshine State' and my suggestion of 'The Vinegar and Clove Oil State' was universally well received.

Good old apple cider vinegar! Good for battling those annoying pantry moths, and good for salads.

Pantry moths! See, Nextdoor really is good for something. Someone there put me on to these. I got some, and they work like a champ.
