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.

On the lighter side.....
