I recently received from our Aussie friend, Dee, the following link to the map photos of Queensland, Australia showing how Queensland looked like before and after the flooding. These photos will give you all a grasp of the huge devastation the flooding caused. Slide your mouse on the photos right to left to view "after" photos.

Dee, thanks for sharing the link with me. Continued thoughts and prayers to all the victims and their families.
BHR

BHR, this is really devastating for Brisbane & all the other flooded areas. Thanks for the info.
Sometimes I think I have problems then look at something like this & get more perspective on what problems really are.

BHR, Thanks for these pictures. This has been mentioned on TV alot. Like HariAJfan says, you think you have problems until you see something like this and you feel alot luckier. My thoughts are out there for everyone in Australia who are affected by this flood.

As our land flows all the water from up North in Brisbane and surrounding areas is heading south. Currently residents in North West of Victoria are sandbagging and getting the hell out before the levies burst. Just when you come through the worst drought in our history we end up with floods.
Gotta love Mother Nature!!!!!

Hi all,
I did an internet search on BRISBANE ENTERTAINMENT CENTRE, where Alan is to perform, to see if it's been affected by the floods. Was thinking of those going to Brisbane concerts. This is what it said about 3 of Brisbane's venues:
There have been some impacts on activities scheduled at the three Brisbane venues managed by AEG Ogden as a result of the current floods.
AEG Ogden Executive Director, Rod Pilbeam said two of the venues, the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre and Suncorp Stadium were flood affected while the other, the Brisbane Entertainment Centre was not impacted.
Mr Pilbeam issued the following venue updates.
BRISBANE CONVENTION AND EXHIBITION CENTRE
The Centre is closed due to some flooding into lower storage and car parking levels, and power to this area of South Bank has been cut. The Centre will not be open until at least Friday with further advice to be provided as the situation develops.
The only scheduled event at the venue is the Lifeline Book Show which was to be held this weekend but which has been rescheduled to next weekend.
SUNCORP STADIUM
The field of play is underwater, and as a result, Sunday's Hyundai A League match between the Brisbane Roar and Wellington Phoenix will be played elsewhere. Football Federation Australia will make an announcement on the rescheduling of this game within the next 24 hours.
BRISBANE ENTERTAINMENT CENTRE
Fortunately the Entertainment Centre is not affected by the current weather situation. In order to minimise the requirement for travel, the Queensland Volleyball Pirates Competition which was scheduled for tomorrow, will recommence instead on Friday.
Thankfully, our understanding at this time is that none of our staff teams has been personally impacted by flood incursion.

Dee hi!
I hope you and your family are ok.. It is horrible to see Floods of this magnitude..
Sending prayers for those affected by these horrible Floods..
I can identify, with my son losing all his possessions in Home..after the Nashville Historical Flood..Thank God they have restored the House.. Inside is all new now but it takes time & money for young couples, with children especially
This storm you sent is far worse than Nashville, I'm sure, more distance covered .
Prayers for all the people affected there, from Florida Jeri-FL
