unbelievable. up to yesterday, the bulk of the state of queensland was underwater, flooded. the main arterial highway, the bruce highway was cut off in two places, gympie and rockhampton. i'm not sure if it's cut at maryborough also, which is flooded.
to our shock, a wall of water nicknamed an inland tsunami swept through towns west of brisbane - mainly toowoomba, sweeping cars and people away. they have found bodies and are still searching for survivors. i have never seen anything like that before. absolutely unbelievable. no-one had any warning, it just swept through. 8 confirmed dead, 72 missing. www.news.com.au
at present, on the sunshine coast where i am, we are expecting king tides which will cut our roads, and i am cringing in the house with a storm and pounding rain battling our place. the lightning and thunder is amazing. and it's only 7am. what will the day be like when it gets underway? and they say more rain is on the way. a friend of mine is hoping the word 'cyclone' doesn't raise it's head. trees exposed to saturating rain will have no hope of retaining a grip on the earth. and to add to the confusion, western australia is suffering bushfires. what next?
my thoughts go to all who are in further danger of flooding and fires. this is bad.
