Thread: QLD Floods

'Phone lines are still going and Mobile network is still good, but the request has been put out to keep the lines free as much as possible. Calls to Toowoomba should be limited to what is necessary. I made my necessary calls to make sure everyone I know was safe. I actully sent a text message to my mate seconds before his wife called. My Aunt had used her mobile 'phone to take photo's and send them out to us, as it was happening. I was at the computer when that email arrived. She was caught in the the main shopping complex where most of the footage of the floods was shot from.
I sent a smart alec text to my mate straight away, he read that, got a distressed call from his ex straight after, looked in his rear vision mirror and said a bad word or two in front of the kids, so he tells me.
That close to having a really bad day.
I believe Toowoomba is dry enough now, but a massive clean up operation, and the poor people at the bottom of the mountain on both sides copped the brunt of all that water too.
And we haven't even touched on all the other areas that are under water..75% of the bloody state. Unbelieveable...Covers an area larger than Texas U.S.A.
