Hell...the Bremer River through Ipswich is rising at a rate of a
metre per hour. It's about to peak at over a metre higher than ever before.
Watching the news...the boats and caravans etc loose on the Brisbane River; it's just incredible. Jetties and pontoons are being carried down the river. The river has broken its banks earlier than expected and the warning sirens are sounding across Brisbane.
This weather system is reaching all the way down the East Coast; we even have multiple flood warnings down here in Victoria for the next couple of days. Strongest La Nina in Australia's history and it's going to stick around until Autumn here and won't abate 'til Winter...all the Eastern States are in for wet, wet and more wet for months.
HardDrive - hope your friends are OK. News out of NSW isn't good either

. I'll be spending the morning on the phone to friends on the North Coast there too.
Bloody hell - Mother Nature is determined to give the Eastern States one hell of a whipping (whilst the West is scorching).
Projected cost which no doubt will rise - 13 billion dollars...
