- Floods

Palm Harbor, FL - USA

For the past year much of Australia has received record breaking amounts of rain. In the past few weeks the rain has been particularly devastating to Queensland. People have been killed and still many are missing - and there has been billions of dollars in damage.

Much of Brisbane is now under water. The river flowing through St George peaked at a bit more than 13 meters above its normal level. At its peak, the river, which normally is less than 50 meters wide was a kilometer wide. Although most of the rain steered clear of Cunnamulla, its residents have not had fresh vegetables or milk for over three weeks because transportation has been cut off.

Although there has been more rain than normal in Koroit, my mines are fine.
