Australia Flooded

This is just one town, pretty much the whole state of QLD is in crisis (screwed).

If you can help out http://www.qld.gov.au/floods/donate.html

I've seen other clips on the nightly news. Amazing. There are rivers where there were only streams.

that's freaking nuts man...honestly it's amazing in the sense of the power that water can hold, but it's so devestating that's happening to so many people's property, and worse yet the lives that are lost

Check out the dam levels. Nearly all of them are at 100%+ and spilling water out. http://www.seqwater.com.au/public/dam-levels
