Ditto! I just saw some footage tonight on CNN - the flash floods sweeping cars & houses away! It's unbelievable that only 10 people have been lost so far. You Aussies are tough!

Cheers
nohmi, thanks for checking in and letting us know how you are. I hope everyone else is doing OK, there.

I am so glad we moved from a yearly snow area years ago. I don't miss what all of you are experiencing right now. Be careful and stay warm, everyone.

pooh, we were still living in Portland,Oregon when Mt. St. Helens blew. The ash was so thick in Portland that we had to wear face masks and use shovels to clean up ash. The city had water trucks out and street cleaners to try to remove the ash. It was so bad we moved an hour or so south to live and there was still ash there.

poor doggie! Please don't slip over and break a leg. My cousin did that years ago on ice!

Tough as old boots. We need to worry about lene1949 because I think she is in the bad zone! Has she checked in lately?

I'm especially saddened to read that many of the dead are children.

They have turned off the power in parts of Ipswich. I hope she just has no power and that she is not too wet!

@iq6000 that has gotta suck. As a regular traveller between Darwin and Brisbane, going via Adelaide would be a serious pain. I would not go. Being struck by lighting in the plane wouldn't be so bad
Ahem - having experienced this I have to say - "ultra scary"!


And hope everyone is safe and able to contact your families and friends.

Not the lightning that would worry me, but the turbulence caused by the storm. It may take out the electronic equipment and then you would hope that the pilots are VFR trained etc. to be able to get home the old fashioned way.

Blue sky & sunshine over Brisbane as we await the river to rise even more. At least no rain. But bizarre and eery feeling in town.

Hope all fellow queenslander are safe (and the rest of you).

Lene in Ipswich area - I am sure she is fine. They had plenty of warning. Power has been cut. So far no further loss of life reported from Ipswich
