There's massive flooding in Queensland and New South Wales (states in Australia, keep up ). This has been happening since before Christmas so you know, whatever. It's getting worse though. The city of Toowoomba was hit by a flashflood yesterday and now the waters' heading on towards Brisbane (capital of the state, big place, my other home), and in addition, the dam near Brisbane is at 170% capacity. And it's still raining. They're trying to evacuate people but there's not really anywhere for them to go. I mean, Toowoomba's at the TOP of the hills. They're expecting what they're calling an 'inland tsunami' to hit Brisbane about 7pm (QLD time) tonight. Aside from the fact this is scary on its own, I know a lot of people who are affected by this and people who are in danger. My own famil'y safe, their town is cut off but they're west of the tidal wave and it's heading east. I have a lot of friends in the way though. And even aside from friends, there have been eight people confirmed dead and at least 72 missing in the floods. And it hasn't hit the big places yet. So.. yeah. Please pray for people, especially for the emergency services. I was a part of the SES while I lived in Australia and I know pretty much exactly how little sleep they'll be getting and how much work they're doing and how dangerous their work is.
