Has anyone had any recent contact from Glynis or Julie? Here's the latest
news story I've seen:
Floods head for Brisbane--A city under threat
Parts of Brisbane are being evacuated as floods approach the Queensland
state capital.
Police, under the orders of the city’s mayor, are urging people to evacuate
their homes as waters rise.
Around 6,500 homes and businesses are set to flood in the worst floods to
hit Queensland since 1893.
The floods are expected to hit the city tomorrow and intensify by Thursday.
Queensland Premier Anna Bligh warned that river levels would rise above the
heights experienced in catastrophic floods of 1974 .
The recent floods have killed 10 people, including children, and another 70
people are missing.
They have impacted 200,000 people and have caused billions of dollars worth
of damage.
When the flood hit Toowoomba, west of Brisbane, residents were left
clinging to trees or railings, or were trapped in cars or on the roofs of
buildings.
