YouTube for Brisbane floods

Friday 18th January 2011

Well the big cleanup starts for many, we are so darned lucky we do not have to face that horrible task.

 I am supposed to train people and their dogs tonight but the ground is just sodden.  I think I will leave Jack at home, a wet border collie in a house is not a good thing.

Looks like a few showers coming in, oh joy.  Oh and we do have a threat of a cyclone off the east coast but, at this point it is only a threat.  And we all know about unnecessary media hype.

6:30am.  Woke this morning, beautiful blue sky,  turned TV on total devastation for a lot of Brisbane.  We as a family are so lucky to be out of the flood zone.  My wifes father is safe our son and his girl are safe. 


If you want to see the devastation the best way is go to youtube and search:
 " Brisbane floods 2011".

There is another king tide this afternoon so the water that is receding is coming back for another go.  Lets hope not so high this time.  At this point in time we are near the bottom of the tide and we see on TV some people trying to clean up, maybe they don't realise the water is coming again.


9:30am.  Clouds rolling in now we expect showers today.  The weather bureau predicts more heavy rain coming soon.  For a country that has gone through 11 years dought this is incredible. 


The cleanup will take months if not years for some and some, will just walk away.  So sad so bloody sad!
