PLEASE...can people from countries other than australia let us here all know if this absolute tragic disaster is being reported overseas?
How much media coverage is this story of the floods receiving. Please take 2 minutes of your time to tell us what country or state you are from and is it on the main news, just in the papers or you didnt even know about it.

As an American here in Gosford, Australia i can tell you the flood is a bad as katrina. 24-7 news coverage so far.. I have talked to friends back in las vegas, NV and they had no idea what was going on.
It really upsets me to know that the U.S. media is the way it is. My wife tells me that when Katrina was in force, it covered their media non stop here in Australia..
What i can seem to understand is "Why?".. Is running a story on the floods here in AUS going to hurt their numbers?

When people are comparing the Australian floods to Hurricane Katrina in the US, what are you comparing?
The flooding is bad, sure, property damage, yes, but human lives lost? No comparison. 1,836 people died from Katrina, but only 15 reported so far in Australia.

Country: Canada
City: Toronto
Coverage: I would say a good amount. All our major stations have showcased the flooding consistently through out the week. News have also been spread within schools.
