The flooding is really bad from what I've seen on television. Cars getting washed away

bookworm_020 · 01-12-11, 12:21 AM

12 dead, 67 missing and the flooding will be at its worse tomorrow. Just pray that there isn't any more rain or it will keep draging on. Some towns have now been flooded three times in as many weeks.

This is pretty dramatic. I wish all the best to our Aussie friends. Stay safe.

What a terrible disaster. Was it caused just by heavy rains.

I just can't imagine (or more accurately don't want to imagine) losing everything you own like that.

What a tragic flood.

Sadly some have lost far more than that with 14 dead and that toll expected to rise as emergency teams get to some of the worst effected areas.

A tradgedy indeed.

We have a aussie chap in our work gang we niknamed Skip as in (skippy the kangaroo) at smoko break we were talking about the floods I say to Skip do you have any family in Aussie that are affected by the floods? Oh yeah I have a brother in Toowoomba, Oh is he okay? I don't know I haven't heard from him.

We all cracked up laughing. Skip lights his cigarette sips on his coffee with not a care in the world. Mate you better give him a ring! Nah he''ll be fine besides hes a good swimmer. Silence. Hah had you kiwis fooled of course I rang him!

Anyways hope the floods cease for you Aussies, shocking stuff.
