[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 400311, member: 1991"] They're now saying that Brisbane's flooding will peak higher than the previous worst ever flood, which was in 1974. They're evacuating some parts of the city but it's all happening in an orderly manner, I believe. Death toll is now 9. The umber still missing is 66. As time passes, it is looking less hopeful for them. Some of these were people known to be in the main street of Toowoomba when the wall of water hit. Flooding is now much worse in northern NSW on both sides of the ranges. Inland, Tenterfield is in trouble. That's where Peter Allen was born and the town that gave rise to the song "Tenterfield Saddler". Queensland will still be reeling from this, when NSW gets hit. We're going to have problems for months now, with food supplies, fuel supplies etc. The industry of the flooded areas help supply much of the rest of the country. Food prices and fuel prices will rise - Queensland supplies most of the ethanol that is added to our fuel. Meat costs will rise because fodder crops have been lost. The river systems right through to South Australia will feel the direct impact of the extra water. They're saying this will be the worst floods ever, to hit Australia. The most widespread, the deepest, the more expensive. And it looks like the highest death toll. husband posted a link on the other weather thread (about the snow storm). Wrong thread! I've re-posted it here. [url]http://www.abc.net.au/news/justin/default.htm[/url] Marg [/QUOTE]
