I will get back to regular blogging soon. But it just seems irrelevant to muse about my lack of love life or various theories when there are much bigger things going on in my country. Thought I'd just share some photos tonight. The Brisbane river is predicted to peak tomorrow morning with up to 22 000 homes to be effected. Up to. Brisbane has an approximate population of about 2 million. If you feel led to here is the official flood relief appeal website. http://www.qld.gov.au/floods/donate.html.
Here's a link to the current flood map. http://www.google.com/crisisresponse/queensland_floods.html#map

I'm sorry that there's a national disaster going on in your country right now. I'll definately pray about it.
ReplyDeleteThanks Elsie. Thankfully the waters didn't reach the predicted peak overnight and the rain has eased for a bit which means the water has had a chance to go down a bit. I think the areas effected were likened recently to an area the size of Texas but I'm not sure how accurate that is though.
ReplyDeleteNow the waiting and clean up ( and rebuilding in some parts that got hit 2 weeks ago ) begins.
