Have been watching all of the serious flooding in Queensland, Australia, and hoping that none of the members from Queensland are flooded.
There is currently an area the size of Germany and France combined that is under water according to Reuters.

So, if you're in the vicinity of Brisbane or Bundaberg, a thumbs up that your're doing okay would be appreciated.
Thoughts and prayers are with ya!

That is good to hear. From the report I read, it listed Brisbane, too. Glad to hear you are fine.

Parts of Brisbane have been flooded but some are areas that flood with any heavy rain. Some have suffered flash floods as the rain was so heavy the water just couldn't drain away quickly enough.
It is outback towns suffering the worst. At least 2 town have been completely evacuated.
I live in Brisbane.

Heartbreaking to see the pic's of the flooding here in Queensland, we are fine, we live in the south east corner.

I'm not too sure but was thinking we may have some members from up north, I do hope there Ok.
