Stay safe guys and girls. Watching the news tonight they were saying Towoomba copped a hiding today with flash flooding. 1 dead and 5 missing. Lets hope the government pulls out all stops to help QLD.

Default Unbelievable!

What has happened in Toowoomba and lower communities is absolutely unbelievable.

I cannot imagine the volume of rain required to cause such devestation.

They are referring to this as an "inland tsunami".
I have NEVER seen anything like this in my life, and hope I never do again.

The image of a car full of people floating in a sea of muddy water was horrible. I'm unsure if they were saved or not.
