Floods

It's hard to imagine the flood situation in Queensland at the moment.  I noted on someone's facebook status today telling their American friends that it was likened to imagining that Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Alabama, Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri and Tennessee all completely under water.  With so much loss of life and damage to homes and infrastructure your heart really goes out to those affected - so many, many people.

This is what a client sent to me from Brisbane today "Thousands of homes are going under - it is heartbreaking to see - not just wet backyards but complete immersion. They have found a few more bodies in outer towns with over 60 people still missing. Southbank is under water, the floating restaurant we have in Milton has sunk, boats have crashed into bridges as they break their moorings, they have shut off power to the CBD, it is surreal."

Eerie and terrifying!
