To those of us that have family and friends in the flood zones in Queensland, our thoughts are with you we hope that all goes well, have just received news that parts of Toowoomba are being evacuated due to a storm about to arrive, I have lots of friends and my son and his girlfriend live in Toowoomba, so we are particularly interested in what is about to happen. My wife and I send all our best wishes to everyone in Queensland.

How about some of the money sent overseas to help is held back to help Australians very much in need, or maybe those countries that have benefitted from all the aid we have sent, send some of it back, god knows we need some of it right now

X2, if theres even the slightest possibility just leave immediately.

If your near a waterway, set up a watch system, 2hrs per person before relief.

Maybe a little early, but theres sure gonna be some flood damaged cars up for auction shortly.

I have been looking for a very cheap run around.

 

[jbates58]

also maybe not the time, but i wonder if the train in pic 3 ended up arriving?

 

[Rosscoe]

I was sorta wondering why the lights were on also, I dont think Toowoomba have passenger trains go through??? so it might be freight, possibly the coal train to or from the Acland Coal Mine
