Spare a thought for the people of the state of Queensland, in the north eastern corner of Australia. It's almost entirely under water,covering an area the size of Germany and France combined.......or 1/10 the land mass of America.....over 300,000sq miles. This is a catastrophe of almost biblical proportions.
Just watch the power of the water here.... a usually very small creek turns into a nightmare.

Re: Australian floods
Bob, this is a very scary video; however, I suspect the Australian people are very strong and will help each other through this temporary setback.
When Nashville, Tennessee, USA flooded last year, the residents of the state all helped
out and supported the effort to help those in need and clean up the mess. Government assistance was vertually non existant.
There was no visit from the Mocha Messiah. After a lot of hard work, community support, effort, and prayer, Nashville is again open for business.
