Many thanks for all your responses to the flood information. I am including a link to the latest update. A man was clinging to a tree that got hit by a van whilst rescuers were trying to get to him. Miraculously, he managed to hang on - although very shaken, as this video will show. The flood is supposed to peak tomorrow morning at 6a.m. It has been reported that 75% of the state is under water and power will be cut off for safety reasons. Hope I am not distressing people too much, just want to inform .
