Best wishes and prayers for your daughter’s safety!
Brisbane has sure changed since I was there — can see that on GoogleEarth. But the river winds through downtown just like before. If the dam holds then damage to Brisbane itself should be very limited. If not...
From my Aussie friend:
Hi mate,
Lets just see how we ride through this, this next few days or week will tell how bad things will get. We are all safe & so is our home but rivers are rising fast, Brisbane City is expected to go under later today.
She doesn't sound like she usually does, and that's got me worried.
