Hope all of you survive the flooding. Sounds like a complete mess, not to mention the warnings about displaced crocs and snakes. If there were a way to store that water for later irrigation ...

The area flooded is the size of Germany and France combined with more to come. Main thing now is for no cyclones to come in on top of this disaster as that would be an even worst case scenario.

We had 'the fire next time' in Victoria and now we're back to the deluge. Meanwhile the 'temperate' zones of the the Northern Hemisphere freeze their butts off.
Reportedly the Queensland floods could cost $7 billion - I wonder if our former PM (the shooter's friend ) still sees fighting climate change as a danger to the economy.

Insane amounts of rain all right; we had 67" of rain last year. That's more than 40" greater than our average and 10" of that fell on Boxing day. Flash floods, record amounts of water and stock losses and damage everywhere you look.
No worries; we will get over it. Everybody seems to be digging in and helping their family, friends, neighbours and complete strangers as best they can. As they should .

Ive been stuck here AT WORK since boxing day unable to get home because of flood waters. Fortunately I havent suffered any loss of possesions or livelihood. Unlike a hell of a lot of other poor buggers.

after getting flooded this fall i know what you are going through. it is amazing at how little use government can be at these times, and how great the people are. remember that humanity is at its best when things are at their worst
I hope all the people in the wet area of Queensland, are well, There is not much we can other than give our support and some cash to the appeal, Good luck

New home is ok and has with stood all the water...however I'm not in it yet Amongst other problems the builder and plumber have been flooded in over christmas and have not had the chance to finish their bits and pieces off. I've had to cancel the removal for the time being. Rang the builder today and he is cut off again due to a storm that hit this morning.
