Many thanks for all the inquiries as to whether the flood affected me, they are appreciated.
As I live near the top of a hill and my house is up on stumps I have been fortunate to avoid any water problems. Apart from water running freely under the house and soggy grass underfoot.
Sadly many others in Queensland have lost everything, even the real Nurse Nasty was flooded out.
It will take a long time for those unfortunate enough to have been affected to get back on their feet. There are some collections for the flood victims and many have been generous, but I fear that the need will far outweigh the available funds.
I was helping a business yesterday that was flooded out, the water came up to shoulder height and the poor guy was devastated. Many have volunteered their time and it is heartening to see the community gather round to assist those in need.
Thanks again for your concerns and kind thoughts. AL.
