I'll be there later today so I'll let you know what I see unless someone else beats me to it

It was chaotic this morning with fog

Check-in, security and the J lounge all seem fine. I'll report back on the gates in an hour or so when we board. On the plus side there were practically no queues anywhere.

No obvious damage around gates 1-4, unfortunately that's as far as I went

Thanks Jrfsp and Bjhearne.

per news reports seems T4 had some of the water ingress (I saw shots of JQ staff moping away water.. or trying o). Doesn't seem T1 (QF dom) had many issues.

but the fog this morning played havoc. I know a SYD-MEL was diverted to ADL (QF401 iirc), and DFW-MEL also diverted to SYD. Think there were a few others. Well the fog happens....

JQ staff moping

It's not the first time JQ staff have been seen moping at work.

T3 was a disaster yup, my parents flew out of there this AM. Looked bad crowd wise.

T1 was fine crowd wise being bigger and more bag drop facilities it is always faster, flood wise there was some flooding in the turbo prop apron area apparently - some damaged carpet, but the whole of T1 is under a massive fancy pants refurb, so I’m sure that carpet was going to come up anyway
