That pic is from the west taken in earlier days. Because Brisbane is the capital and Ipswich and toowoomba are nearby the west has been left out a bit. Rockhampton who are over the worst are still under a very slow recession of the water. There is still Maryborough which is getting the runoff from Gympie is still hurting. I just heard the size of New Orleans compared to Queensland and our area well ? last week they said it was bigger than Germany and France combined, well now I think we can start adding Italy and Switzerland and... It is just under 5 hours now until Brisbane peaks. The evacuation centres are full and they are finding more church halls etc for people to go to.. I am only one hour drive north of Brisbane but I feel so helpless, What can i do? I can't drive down and bring back a heap of folks and fill my home and feed them tomorrow morning??? see what happens? The heartbreaking stories coming out just choke me up. The young and the elderly?? Those kids sitting on the roof of the car swirling around in the water while they lost their dad??? I am so glad they blurred their faces.. ??? Big bold men crying??? Don't know how to describe the pain.
