Luckily I live 2,200Km,s away from the floods in Queensland, and do,nt have to put up with a thick brown river of mud racing through my house, we are getting 24 hour TV coverage,and today I saw pictures of 'Ipswich' station south west of Brisbane, the water would have been at least 3' deep between the platforms, the main shopping area was at least 8' or more.
One thing that makes you think is all the snakes swimming about and it's WARM.

Yep, the might be a few that might want to go back, but it would be flood or snow ???
Most of the suburbs are almost dry now, what a mess, so far 16 dead and 20 missing, half of them children, on Monday, it rained 10 inches in an Hour, under a railway bridge at 'Grantham' there were about 30 cars, all washed down a small creek.
The area affected by the floods in Queensland, would be almost as big as France, Germany and Italy combined.
