#2 Amazing video here showing huge things like boats on top of pontoons, a floating restaurant etc speeding down the Brisbane river and smashing into the bridge. Also heartbreaking video of swimming horses trying to get up on a roof. Poor livestock.

#3 In what I call rapid localised disaster, such as tornado or flash flood, the pets, livestock, and wildlife take a heavy toll; not just sad but creates a health issue as the days pass. Responded to a tornado brushing a town - the people were ok, but every animal I saw was injured or dead...looking down the street it looked like a pan of cooking popcorn with the living birds.

Let us hope the cars are empty.

#4 It is wise if you live in a flood plain, even if it is very intermittent, to channelize any river basin. It is not terribly expensive, just needing some earth moving equipment, but a little goes a long way.

They even did it to the dry Salt River through Phoenix after a minor flood, and just a few years later did it pay off big time, when they got three times as much water, and it didn't come anywhere close to being a problem.

#5 Interesting comments.

My sympathies to those, and the families of those they find.

#6 I've had OLD DREAMS/VISIONS of this Australia flood disaster, but after all these years I'm still not certain/sure as per any SYMBOLIC = PROPHETIC RELATIONSHIP TO GUAM-WESTPAC.

CLOSEST EQUIVALENT > "GLOBAL COOLING" = NEW/MINI-ICE AGE > Guam + Region in future time will experience MORE-N-MORE "COLD/ICY RAINS" [downpours] + POWERFUL, WIDE-AREA STORMS INCLUD TORNADO-STYLE MINI-STORMS [multiple = Local, Regional batches].

NOT-YET-A-SOLID-GLACIER SLEET + "WET" SLUSHY SLUSH on tropical Guam + Pacific Isles.

#7 Time moves on, the World of Today + Future will NOT the same world of our Elders + Ancestors, + we as Humans must adapt, change with it.
