Australian Flood Crisis – Brisbane Smashed – Worse Than 1974
PA Pundits International ^ | 11 January 2011 | TonyfromOz

This Post now has an UPDATE with the latest news from this terrible disaster, which could end up becoming Australia's worst natural disaster. There are links to some graphic videos and links to major news media outlets in Brisbane with stories on what is happening there right now. The inflows into the monster Wivenhoe Dam, now at 200% are gradually getting back to the stage where they are releasing around the same amount of water that is flowing into the dam. All this water flows directly through Brisbane, where flood levels are expected to go beyond the 1974 levels. What happened at the small town of Grantham is almost beyond belief and there are links to videos about that.
