Today is 11.1.11. It is also the day my friends' daughter Megan, gave birth to her second daughter, Ella. A beautiful little sister for Phoebe. Congratulations Megan and Luke!
The flood situation in Queensland does not appear to be abating, instead it is getting worse. Parts of Brisbane are expected to be flooded on Thursday and Ipswich tomorrow. Watching the events unfold on the TV it is so hard to comprehend what these people are going through. We are seeing cars being tossed through the water as if they are toys. People are on the roofs of houses, tops of cars, clinging to trees all waiting to be rescued.
They are being told to take what they can. I know during the cyclone back in 1974 we packed a small case with photos, personal papers and other bits and pieces but when we left the house we left it all behind. That case was never found.
Over the next couple of days we are expected to get some heavy rain. Not so much here in Adelaide, but more up in the north eastern part of the state, the Riverland and down in the South East. Let's see if the forecasters are right.
