Default Queensland Floods - take 2

Hi all,

This was forwarded to me last night -
Click on the below link and just slide across the photos with your cursor.

It does take a few moments to load the images but well worth a look.

Nothing has been set up like this for the NSW and Vic floods but you can get
the picture of the devastation for all of the victims - five states have had
flooding hardly ever seen before.

On a lighter note, at least the drought has broken.

Amazing, just amazing. Makes one feel helpless. Sending out more
prayers.

I've never personally experienced flooding in my own home -- but my Sister
did -- in all places... Columbus, Ohio!! She had water from the floor of
the basement - up to about 30 inches in the main floor of the house. Walk
around and look at everything from your knees down and imagine it in gross,
dirty, muddy water. Open the fridge and the veggie drawers are full of
brown water. You really have to see it first hand to understand the
absolute devastation.

Prayers for all those down under who are so profoundly impacted by these
flood waters.
