Yes 75% if Queensland was flooded, but 25% of Victoria is under flood water or treat of flood. Not so many deaths down here, but devestating in its own right. Pretty happy to be city girl right now! Will have to take the time to check on friends in the next coupld of weeks. Probably not the right time to be doing it now, what with the evacuations and all. Lots of country town in Vic who were flooded out at the same time as Qld have been very vocal about the lack of support they were getting from all the government agencies, they have been stretched to the limits.
Now we just wait for the waters to recede and do our best with what will be left.
