Some points on the Australian Floods and now coming, a massive cyclone!

Queensland in Australia has faced some of the most dramatic flooding experienced in Australia’s history.

An area of Germany and France combined was under flood.

So much water fell in this most dramatic situation that there was even an inland tsunami as the huge inflow of water came down from the mountains. 30,000 homes were affected, 36 people died and parts of Brisbane were flooded.

Overall $AU30 billion worth of damage.

Rivers are receding with massive cleanups with over 10,000 mums, dads and kids all helping neighbours through this terrible disaster

Northern Victoria also had major flooding, not as dramatic as our northern neighbours, but currently a body of floodwater of over 3,000 square miles is moving through the river systems creating havoc in the river towns and major agricultural crops.

Today we see a MAJOR cyclone “Yasi”, equal to the power of Katrina in the USA, bearing down on northern Queensland town of Cairns 1,000 miles north of Brisbane. with winds expected of over 160 MPH, and of course, these major rain again on top of a major storm surge of 4-6 ft in the lower lying coastal areas is going to be dramatic. There is talk that up to 3 ft of water can be dumped in 24 hours as this cyclone hits the land.

This is a major catastrophe hitting the northern areas where they can receive up to 4-6 cyclones per year, but on top of what they have received with the massive wet weather, it is not going to be nice at all.
