We have family and friend who have been evacuated from their homes but who are all accounted for; we are safe and dry in the bush and not near the river at all. We had blue skys and sunshine all day but as I type I can here the rain pouring again!
The death toll now stands at 12 people, half of them children. 62 people are still reported missing.

Your posts about this really do a *lot* to fix the disconnect that can happen when one listens to it on the news. So far away. So devestating. So real.
You are all in our thoughts...
Oh, my goodness -- I'm so sorry to hear about all this... how difficult & heartbreaking. I pray the floodwaters clear soon...
I'm so glad to hear that you & your family are safe and dry and that those you know are safe too... it sounds truly awful
I hope it gets better soon for all of you and no one else is lost.
With much love xxxx
*hugs* glad to hear you and your family are safe! Such a scary sad thing and as someone who lived in QLD for 27 years I feel like I need to be there, seems odd I suppose, but its really only the beginning, what a recovery effort will be needed.
So happy that you and your family are safe & dry! The unpredictability of nature is just mind blowing...I feel so awful for all those who have lost loved ones in these floods...our love and prayers are with all those affected.
