floods

An update on the floods:

Our house remains unaffected by floodwaters, but others nearby are not so lucky. Floodwaters are expected to peak in about 2 hours, and then reach an even higher peak in another 14 hours. Already the road at the end of our street is under water. The suburb next to us has required some evacuations. Our neighbours are housing friends whose house is ruined by flood.

We are so sad for those who have lost homes, vehicles, businesses, and even loved ones. We are thankful that we are ok.

I'm glad to hear you're okay, too, Jelly. The area where I used to live in the city is one of those suburbs affected and the street I lived in is inundated. Fortunately I am lucky to be on a rise and so we aren't affected at all. But I do feel for those poor souls who have lost everything and those who live in the flood prone areas. It's just so tragic to see our beautiful city so devastated.

Dearest Jelly,
I hope you continue to be spared the effects of this flood.

Last year Dad used to ring me and give me a weekly weather report.
He was always saying how the storm clouds went round Toowoomba and missed them time and time again.
The contrast between the dry and the wet is just extraordinary.
I'm glad you are not flooded.
But I can't imagine life will be a barrel of laughs for anyone in Brisbane at the moment.
Stay dry.

Jellyhead,
Glad to hear you are above water. Terible conditions to endure and I think of you all and pray that the water subside soon.
I know you Aussies will rebound admirably. Still it's heart breaking to lose all.

Hi Jelly, just to let you know that Puss in Boots is now Ozkatt.

Oh Jelly, I do hope you and yours are all well.
I think of you often, and keep you in my thoughts. Hugs from the relatively unscarred patch of Australia.
