Queensland totally drowning, Brisbane turning into a ghost town ? Wow... Speechless, really.
And then we even't haven't talked about the fires on the other side of the country.
To all the Aussies : i hope you'll be fine !!

Luckily my family and I are high and dry which is just as well considering our second child was born only last week. Didn't really want to stick him in an evacuation centre...
Brisbane CBD certainly is a ghost town. Businesses closing everywhere. More than 100 roads closed. Death toll 12 and counting. I reckon its only this low at the moment because authorities are still yet to inspect the worst hit areas from the flash flooding earlier in the week. A few country towns west of Brisbane virtually destroyed. There's something like 50-60 people currently unaccounted for.
We had 3 amazing shows in Brisbane in December. U2 x 2 and Bon Jovi. I went to all three. We had the time of our life. No-one in those crowds would have imagined that less than a month later we would be dealing with the worst natural disaster in our state's history right on our door step.
