I know this isn't in the right section - can't access the General Discussion because the work filter says it containts Portuguese and German pornography :laugh: ... if it could be left here for the time being so I can access it that would greatly appreciated.

Currently Brisbane is in a flood crisis.

Things getting worse by the hour... the outter areas of Brisbane have been flooded ... and slowly the Brisbane River which runs through the city is beginning to rise and the city suburbs are at big risk.

The city of Toowoomba - just outside of Brisbane - was swept away by a massive flood yesterday ... news footage here, unreal - http://edition.cnn.com/video/#/video/weather/2011/01/10/pkg.aus.flooding.worsens.ninenet?hpt=T1

The main dam, Wivenhoe Dam is now overflowing - something like 75% over capacity, and its raining even stronger there today.

The first 2 pics is of an area just on the border of my suburb ...

UPDATE

WE ARE COMPLETELY FUCKED, THE RIVER BANKS HAVE BROKEN.

UPDATE

No way of getting home for me, from one side of Brissy to the other... I expect an inevitable collapse of the mobile phone network ... this is some seriously fucked up shit right now.

The city centre is becoming slowly flooded.
