Thank-you for letting me know.
Thoughts and prayers are with the folks there. I have a pen pal there that lives on the island of Tasmania, not sure if that is anywhere near where this is headed. Stay safe.

Been tuned into the radio all morning, very disturbing.....poor Queensland is taking a hammering of late...you all must be exhausted and frightened.
To all our Queensland mates....we're thinking of you and sending blessings and prayers your way.
