My sister who is OS atm will probably have the bottom floor of her unit flooded though. They're saying worse than '74 but who knows with the media hyperbole...

And I read just now that because all the coal mines there are flooded, there's likely to be no power generated soon.

This flood thing has come after a year of just about non-stop rain which was preceded bu ten or so years of drought, when it wouldn't rain.

Ahh Australia - beautiful one day, underwater the next!
