Devastating Queensland Floods
Posted: 12 Jan 2011
I know this may be off topic but...
I don't know if you guys know but Queensland, Australia has be inundated with flash floods, in land tsunami's (that went through the city of Toowoomba). So far 12 people have lost their lives and around 50 people are missing, though it is feared alot more have lost their lives. Yesterday it reached Brisbane, and the city got flooded and as a result got evacutaed. Heaps of people remain trapped in urban areas north West of brisbane, and people in Brisbane have been evacuating their homes. It is expected tomorrow that the river will rise another metre or so, and will flood around 20 000 homes, in around 50 suburbs. The government says that it will probably take around two years to rebuild. This is such a devastating tragedy.
