Alice so glad you and Sandra are ok. Sally will be flooded in i expect. Kezza2sew(kerry) will be getting a bit wet and unable to leave town. 2 of my 3 girls are fine. I has sandbaged and the other is on a hill but mabey flooded in. The 3rd and eldest i cannot get onto. Am worried but all i can do is keep trying to call her. Pray all are safe and well in Qld. I am sad of heart . 1 side of Australia is in MASSIVE floods and the other side Perth is in heatwave with Bushfires. Surely we are a land of flooding rains and drought, Take care Please

No wonder you have a migraine my dear friend!!!
All my prayers are for our Queensland neighbours, it is a devastating time up there right now and they will need lots of financial aid.

It a damn disgrace that our government has only seen fit to give them a lousy ONE million dollars.

hugs n love, me

I heard this morning that Centrelink has already made payments of 17 million so I think the 1 million was before the floods escalated.

Hi Pauline Sure hope you daughter is safely in an evacuation centre if there was any danger. Love Viv

I guess a bit of rain would be okay for you but not as much as some have had. Hope it stays reasonable for you.

I heard from one on an Aussie sewing list saying similar -that it was like a tsunami -being on a mountain range you'd never think you might be affected by floodwaters. Everyone seems to be having their turn at disasters.Hope you all get through this okay.
by fannyfurkin 11 Jan 2011
Sally pleased to hear you are ok.

I cannot believe the devastation of the floods in Toowoomba - it is just heartbreaking. To see large vans and all sorts of cars just swept along in the raging river like toys was amazing to say the least. All those lives lost is unbearable to think of and so many missing people. I hope once the water subsides our major infrastructure can be started. Roads, electricity, clean water, etc. etc. It's just like the heavens opened up and poured down on Queensland.

Of course sickness now is the worry - raw sewage, all sorts of animals dead - snakes are everywhere too. I hope you all have access to clean water too.

I hope all our Cuties are bearing up under this enormous deluge. Love, prayers and my thoughts are with you all Chris

In 2005 there was flooding in this area, but it seems we are still safe this time. It has been raining, but not as heavy as it was yesterday. It is so sad to see the news...
Cuties in Queensland, keep safe. Love and big hugs,Yoriko

Hi from Hervey Bay. Okay here but food supplies at supermarkets very low in commodities such as bread, milk, eggs, fresh fruit & vegies etc and apparently petrol supplies also low, but NOTHING compared with the heartbreaking tragedies being experienced by many many other towns & cities in Queensland. I think about 80% of Qld declared flood disaster areas. Of course our heartfelt prayers go out to all the victims of this catastrophic disaster.

We are fine here, although only because the rain stopped falling. At the levels they were predicting, the water would have been in our house. Luckily they never reached that height. We are in Westlake though, one of the hardest hit suburbs and the gated community across the road has about 80% of the houses flooded. The piles of household goods across the road is just heart rending :((
