Hi All,

Just a quick note to see if you could spare a thought for the thousands of animals and people affected by the horrible floods here. An area nearly the size of the state of New South Wales has been flooded. Yikes!!

It hasn't stopped raining for weeks here. We live right near the ocean on high ground so all is good here but lots of the low lying areas around, especially near the river systems, are at risk of going under. Scary stuff!!!!
 
Yowzers!!!
That IS scary!!!
Smoke and prayers out to those affected and in need!
 
WOW! This is the first I've heard of this. Our thoughts are with those affected.
 
That is a HUGE area ... the comparison map with the UK and Ireland is jaw dropping .... stay safe mate .... and smoke sent ..... :thumbup:
 
Prayers and smoke going up, Rob.
Most of Northern NSW is underwater.... stay safe.
 
Stay Safe Rob and Karen!!!!

and Murray and Pea:)

Boosay is concerned...we were watching the news and she was barking at the TV...I was amazed...she was watching the footage and just went crazy....I think she wanted to make sure everyone was ok...:thumbup:

This has been a crazy Monday...My sister (whom I just did a road trip 2 weeks ago to get her home to North Carolina) is dealing with 6 inches of snow....and now freezing rain:confused: IN NORTH CAROLINA (She says I am to blame...LOL)

This weather is SOOO Crazy...

I am going to bed...who the heck know's what I will awake to...:D

Stay Safe EVERYONE,

:( ...Smoke rising for all affected. This has been on my mind for awhile now and I can't believe that y'all have received so much rain over this spring & summer. Just absolutely incredible...

Gosh! I just heard that they're having to tie up the salt water crocodiles at Australia Zoo (about 20mins from here) so they don't go 'exploring'. :eek::eek:

Lucky I have a big knife :eek:

Here's some scary footage from Toowoomba yesterday...

:eek::eek::eek: ...WOW...

Of course you do realize that you are to blame, don'tcha, Rob? All that INFI that you've scored over the last year has shifted the magnetic poles and affected the local weather there. Send it all to me and you will be spared! :foot:

...But seriously, I do hope that this all comes to pass, and very soon before much more becomes affected. Take care & stay safe, y'all.
 
Just watched the local ABC news which was an Australian National Broadcast - went nationwide.

Devastation.

Rob, hope you and yours are OK and prayers and smoke for the next few days. Same to any Aussie up there. Stay safe all.

Thanks mate. We're very fortunate to be where we are. The rain has been so heavy but we're in a pretty good spot. (I hope :/ ) It's backed off for the time being, let's hope it stays that way. We still have power, tv, internet, everythings normal except for the rain, so we're very lucky.

Mate I reckon it's that MOAB causing all the fuss!!! :D

I might have to send it back to the northern hemisphere :(
 
The Floods in Australia, the severe snow in the USA .... I gather there was snow in Arizona which is a first for many .... and we have had heavy snow here as well .... it does make you wonder about this "climate change" effect .... :confused:
 
Get yourself and the INFI to high ground. :)

We felt some pretty bad floods last spring. I feel for all'y'all.
 
Already have, sir.

I know, from firsthand experience, what a flood is like. And it continues to affect its victims for long after the water leaves.

Best wishes, smoke and prayer, for all those affected.
