It is getting scary here in South East Queensland again, we have had very heavy rain for a couple of days, quite a bit of flooding going on and it doesn't look like stopping. I hope we don't have a repeat of last year. People would just not cope again.

I hope that doesn't happen again for you.

In N Alabama we are getting a lot of rain and flooding in low lying places. More in the forecast also.

Everyone stay safe.

You too Marcelle, I am just really worried about the people who were so traumatised last year, losing loved ones homes and businesses. It would be too sad to see them go through it again.

Driving thru Hackleburg it is the saddest feeling still. Some new houses & businesses but almost no trees. Just new construction stuck up on barren landscape. Jefferson Co, AL was hit hard yesterday. More on the way. Husband's Doctor's secretary called late today and will reschedule his apt for Friday in Birmingham. She said she wanted to keep us off the road Friday. I really appreciated that. I would hate to be stranded during a storm with a wheel chair bound person. I have enough trouble just getting to the clinic. We just never know when disaster will strike any of us. Please keep us posted on your flooding.

Oh my! I remember how we all prayed for those of you in Southern Australia last year. I hope the rains stop soon! Praying again! ~ Nancy

Thank you Nancy. South East Queensland is nowhere near southern Australia. lol. Australia is a huge country and Queensland is One of the Northern States. I hope you don't mind a bit of a geography lesson.

Alive, stay safe - 1 thing I do know - people do cope - some not as well as others - but life does go on - no matter the situation. I will be praying for you all.

You are living proof of that Shirlene. But some folk don't have your fortitude. There were suicides and a lot of depressed people after last years flood. These people will need lots of prayers, because the ones effected last year are just as likely to be effected again if the rain keeps up.

Hi Alice, I've been watching the weather map carefully and was also thinking about the floods from last year. I hope it doesn't get like that again. Thinking of you, keep safe and dry! Love Chris
