The Queensland Floods January 2011



While the last week has been one of the most harrowing for Queensland, it has also been one of the most incredible. Not in the 'ooh how cool' way, but just because its something that will leave a lasting impression for life.

Monday 10th, got home from work - heard about the devastation in Toowoomba, and inland flood surge destroyed streets and killed many people. We went and picked up my cousin and her kids from Karalee, we got a message that Karalee was to be evacuated.


Tuesday 11th - I stayed home. Gathered I wanted to know what was going to happen, we were expecting this water to travel to Ipswich. 

Wednesday 12th - Flooding in Ipswich was expected about 2pm. We were not affected. Goodna underwater. My aunts house was devastated. She lost everything.

Thursday 13th - Flooding in Brisbane. Work went under. Was all pretty devastating.

Friday 14th - Went into work and cleaned. Weekend was spent doing similar.
