Still summer down under but like in Britain there's a bit of a problem with rain and flooding, in Queensland that is. Breaking: All schools in Brisbane, Ipswich, Moreton Bay, Somerset, Gold Coast, Logan, Redlands, Scenic Rim, Sunshine Coast, Noosa, Gympie, Lockyer Valley and Cherbourg council areas will be closed tomorrow "South-east Queensland battered by severe weather, floods as system lingers over Brisbane Hundreds of schools will be closed across south-east Queensland on Monday and people have been encouraged to work from home as a deadly weather system continues to lash the state. Authorities said they expected more than 1,430 homes would flood as the Brisbane River surged, with more than 1,000 people in evacuation centres and 34,000 homes and businesses without power on Sunday evening. The flooding has already claimed six lives, with a man in his 70s still missing." www.abc.net.au/news/2022-02-27/brisbane-weather-floods-rain-dams-bom-system-warnings/100864790 |

Climate change innit, extremes of weather an that. Fossil fuels, too many cars and people.
Miserable experience for all those involved.
We can only sympathise with those affected Oldie.

BTW just read on a Dutch news site that the expectation is a possibly 30% increase in the price of bread, flour and cookies and also sunflower oil. Now not related to rain but to Russia fighting a war in Ukraine.

I'm up to my neck in water, in the bubble bath with a cold glass of champagne 🍾 Upstaging the smoker eh.? I don't think he's done that one so he won't be happy. Which of course does not suggest that he is anything but a perfectly decent and honourable gentleman. Despite what some on here may imply. Central decent again today. Or was that yesterday.? |
