For those who don't know we have been hit by a natural disaster, it hasn't just destroyed one town or part of the state.. it has effected ALL of Queensland.. devastating floods have ripped through communites leaving in some places nothing.
Where I am in Brisbane/Ipswich we have been hit very hard especially Toowoomba & Grantham these two towns were hit by an "inland tsunami" it first hit Toowoomba (which is at the top of the range *mountains*)it was an 8 metre wall of water that surged through the main street taking cars (with people) and pedestrians with it.. In Grantham (which was next)the wave has taken the whole town.. no more homes or properties so many lost, so many lives taken.
Where I live in Ipswich we have been hit by massive flood waters many homeless, no power in most places (I just got mine back)no fresh milk, no petrol, limited bread, veges, fruit.. the whole Brisbane City and Ipswich City is basically closed..
If you would like to see you can see amateur videos on youtube type in Queensland Flood 2011, Brisbane flood 2011, Ipswich flood 2011,

There are so many people missing 2 people we know are missing, they were last seen waiting to be evacuated.. we are praying that they have been taken to a centre or a home.
