7 inches??!!
That is almost incomprehensible!
No wonder they were talking about biblical proportions. Stay dry if you can...

Keith Gympie was lucky with only moderate flooding others had between 15 and 24 inches in the same period. Looks like Rockhampton will become an island with the road North being the only one open set to flood tonight. They are saying the city will be cut off for up to 10 days before the water recedes. Power has been cut to 10,000 people and clean water for drinking is being trucked in to many places with all sewage and freah water treatment plants so badly damaged it will take weeks to restore them to working order. Most families in outlying towns and cities that flooded lost everything. It will also take months to get the mines working again so the state will have income to pay for repairs.

It has been on the news here in Holland too (mind you, we know what rain is). I was astonished when I heard of the amounts of water and the size of the area hit by the floods.
Best of luck to all affected MLU members! Hanno

In the back ground
On the news today in one of the shots of Rockhampton it showed a CMP and another truck up to the bumper bars in water in the middle of the street. It looked like it was in use, any clues?

QLD Floods
A couple of my parts 'contacts' have been flooded in at one time or another, over recent weeks.
One fellow I offered help to get food to, but he was well prepared ahead of time. Had 3/12 worth of canned food stored away. House not affected by water though.

Guys,
I know Australia is big, but to hear that an area the size of France and Germany is under water, is hard to imagine ( Oh, apparently the crocs are now floating about as well !) . I just hope all you guys in Queensland are managing to stay dry, at least on the outside Take care guys Regards from a cold England Keith

Not only crocs
There are also thousands of snakes swimming too. Deadly poisonous ones.
