The city is virtually shut down. Son works for QUT (university) next to the river and he and his son have been working the last couple of nights pumping out water and sandbagging. Unfortunately some of the buildings have a lot of water in them. It is going to take years to fix everything, thousands of homes have gone under and city buildings affected and lives have been lost. To think this time last year we had a severe drought. Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers.
