Day 72 - QLD devastation

Date 11.01.2011

I'm glued to the tv, I can't help but watch the same screen shots over and over again of cars been washed down main roads, of house's  full of water and people stranded on the roofs.

But the most disturbing of all would have to be the footage of the white 4wd surrounded by nothing but flood waters for miles either side of them, the car is slowly sinking more and more under  with the family stranded inside, then minutes later you see them on the roof of the car staring in desperation at the helicopter above.. then to hear that when the helicopter returned to save them, they could not be found.

Everyone is thinking what can I do? How can I help?

Being so far away from it all, being able to drive down the street in your car to work, it all seems so surreal.

9 people dead and 78 people missing this is a terrible tragedy. I'm heartbroken and an emotional mess.

My heart goes out to all the poeple affected by this all and I will be making donation after donation but I know this still won't ease the pain of those who now have nothing, or noone.
