Reminds me of the Pakistan Floods. The water just came and never stopped coming until millions were displaced.

Also you know it's bad when the nightly 6PM news that normally runs for half n hour has tonight been running for 6 hours straight.

Brisbane is a capital city, it's pretty big.

I hope that no more lives are lost and the missing are simply that missing for moment..

I'm not particularly religious (but those in the area and those with missing friends and family) are in my thoughts.

Tho I have to admit it is a strange set of circumstances.. and in tin foil hat mode, adding up all this devastation in the world does have me worried that something else is going on..

OK, Lets take this as a SHTF happening scenario. Slightly of topic so apolz OP. When post Brisbane evacuees start leaving their suburbs and the mass migration of displaced souls starts moving your way to Victoria, Whats your survival plan, Hope you have made efforts to reinforce your home with extra wood and maybe steel sheets for glass doors, If you live near open civic land will it be requisitioned for displaced persons "temporary homes"

Also if you have access to a well make sure its well hidden and concealed, hide and lock any useful stuff that maybe of value to an evacuee, Sorry not trying to scare monger just making sure you got your survival head tuned in.. Good luck and stay posted..

Good god this is a catastrophe. The only good thing I have seen out of all of this horrible news is how few people have died or gone missing in comparison to how massive and damaging this flood is.

I assure you regardless of the Gaia theory we are all humans, laugh now but if there is such a thing as karma you shall not be laughing later. I agree that we have damaged our earth too excessively and there are consequences for every action but there are just innocent people who may or may not have done anything wrong.

Apparently this situation is expected to get a lot worse by Thursday, some are even pandering if this will rival the 1893 flood in Brisbane. So many people are being forced to leave their homes and businesses for safety away from their beloved communities.

Let us all just hope that in the end there are as few deaths and missing individuals as possible and the damage that is done is kept to the bare minimum.

There must be solidarity with the Australians of Queensland while they are going through these very trying times.
