Northen Queensland is flooding.
More than half the state is now declared a disaster zone, with people cut off by flood waters and others losing their livestock, their livelihood. People have died from being trapped in cars, and a 5 year old has been killed by a crocodile after following his dog into flood waters. Homes are unlivable and mozzie diseases are prevalent. More rain and cyclones are on their way with no end in sight.Victoria is under siege by fire. Not only are they putting up with 40-48 degree Celsius heat (that has killed), but arsonists have lit fires which have now killed a confirmed 173 people, and the number is still rising.

Amanda, We have been following this story over hear as well. Prayers. The picture of the fireman says it all. E
It gets worse. A confirmed 134 deaths, and more to come. It hurts every time they show someone crying. It hurts that stuck 2000 kms away, we can't do anything at this very moment to comfort those who need it. The money we donate will take weeks to filter through. All we can do is pray. Or get on a jet and fly down there...if it were an option I would already be there.
It's been in the news...but Ifeel like I've seen more coverage here than on my local news...your post has given me chills I agree with mandapanda...It hurts that stuck 2000 kms away, we can't do anything at this very moment to comfort those who need it. The money we donate will take weeks to filter through. All we can do is pray....And as creative breathing said the picture of the fireman says alot.
