I'M So SORRY to hear! God Bless everyone......

Yikes, stay strong. Best wishes to all.

WOW Bean so Sorry to hear that...God Bless All Your People!

Amazing how nature tells you there is no place to live we are cleaning house and man is sitting in the middle of it. Say, bean, are you more or less on high ground or right in the middle look out!

Around here, yes, the roads leave the mountain slide. The earth moves to topple you. The wind can take your line away. The fires are fast and oops, try to stay out of the way! Here comes the Shepootie!

Over here at VillageIdiotsville, we posted a sign to nature that this is a no cleaning needed area. Our crib sits here and do you hear something?

Prayers to our Aussie friends. I know you had a lot of rain earlier, Bean. Thought that was typical for your region. Hope the rain clears up. Yeah, it is amazing what flooding can do especially when people try to reclaim land from the sea like New Orleans here in the US.

Crazy shit! Hardly gettin' media coverage here in the States.

Best thoughts and wishes to all you Aussies.

Thanks very much for that site hub as idont know how to imbed myself

Hi, Bean. You guys have made all of the news channels in SA, big time. We have very strong ties to Oz as lotsa South Africans have moved there, so virtually everyone here knows someone or has a relative over there. Hope it all goes OK. Cheers.

Thankyou harleyzx1400 thank god the floods stopped short of 1 meter less, it could of taken 35 more suburbs out had it gone the extra 1 meter predicted ,firstly the deaths are a terrible & will get worst still!!! the amount of destruction is incredible they say it could take 6 intense months just to do the roads/bridges not to mention thousands of homes and businesses its the worst for damage in our history, they were 1/5th of the total Trade & will take two years to rebuild providing thiers no more rain as well!!! Sadly it,s now NSW & Victoria,s flooding threats time too !!
