All of a sudden a tremendous tempest from 23:00-05:00 am
yesterday changed lives for ever.
Power went out and all that could be heard was the noise of
water falling and running. A real tragedy in the darkness.

i just read a 13 yr old told rescuers to take his brother to safety first and then the 13 yr old didn't make it. so very sad.

My prayers are with people in both areas suffering during these floods.

I am fortunate that I live about 1,300 km. from the flood area in Australia. We are watching live TV footage each day and it is heartbreaking.

I pray daily for all who are suffering though this devastation in both countries. It's so very sad.
