Photos from Toowoomba that my parents sent me, I do not know if they took them themselves.

I was in Bundaberg for Christmas when it was having it's first round of flooding. The water is back up again to moderate levels now :-\. And then my aunt's house in Emerald got flooded.

It's kinda crazy seeing some of the places in Brisbane I've been to under metres of water now (Newfarm Park where I went to a WP meet, under the Riverside Expressway where I watched the NYE fireworks, Eagle Street Pier)

Thankfully all the rest of my family in QLD (and their houses) are safe and dry. I hope everyone else is doing ok too.

One of the eeriest sights I saw personally after Katrina was a house I would pass.  You could tell exactly how deep the flood waters were because everything above the flood line (about 5 or 6 feet up) was totally gone from a fire and burned.

Looters set it alight I'm guessing :(

As far as I know, yes she is, the flood waters in Toowoomba did not reach my parents' house where she lives.

I've been seeing it on the news. It is unbelievable. I have to admit, I had no idea that major flooding would ever be a problem in Oz.

I hope you, and your family stay safe through all of this. The same goes for the rest of the Aussies on the site.

I am alright and in no danger but I am worried about Eclair and moreso TCO's lady "Pandora" (Have not heard from her and feel funny about contacting her in case she has enough on her plate.)

Think it is I2 of old? Even Odeon is not so delusional as to think otherwise. He may on occasionally pretend otherwise but his base is that knitting circle.

Censoring/banning/restricting/moderating myself, Calanadale & Scrapheap were all not his finest moments.

By contact do you mean online or by phone? If you mean email then I think you should as that won't bother her if she's busy.

What about contacting TCO about her?

I'm currently quite poor, but I took the time to donate $7.50, it's not much but every bit helps.

Yeah it is hard for me to believe as well. I've never experienced flooding before. We get it here sometimes, but never like this obviously. I've seen the damage it causes here on the news, so can only imagine what it's like in Australia. I'm glad you and GA (and hopefully any other aussies on here) are alright anyway

Anyone know how singularity is? He's autsrailian right?

Unless he has traveled 2 -3 days North from home then both he and Saint Phlex the retarded, should be OK. Same goes for Vodzy
