    I heard Jimmy Barnes is trying to organise an Itunes album with proceeds going toward the disaster. It has a EJ on there too (I think). It would be cool if Ed could get the City of Ruins song on there or something...

    Just heard that there's E-Coli in the water in Chinchilla so they have to boil their water! :( And unaccounted for has dropped to 51.

    As for that big boat thing that was mentioned earlier, just heard that they may have to sink it or take it apart for safety reasons???

    :shock: :D Hope it wasn't take-away for the snake :lol:
    Mr Gelach said a friend who had been affected by many floods told him animals often helped each other out during disasters.

    "It's quite common when you have animals in floods or fires or disasters, they actually get together and don't do anything," he said.

    My friend just came back from safari in South Africa. She told me of an incident where a hippo had aided a small impala across a flooded river and then returned and aided a small buffalo across too. Pretty amazing.

    I'm so sorry for you Queensland Aussies. The news footage is unbelievable with the buildings, boats, etc. hitting the bridges, and the vehicles flying along hitting trees and bridges. I can't imagine how long it will take for things to get back to normal. This past Spring Nashville, TN was flooded and there are still businesses that have not reopened. And the Oz flooding would be across a hundred times bigger area I guess. And most importantly the lives that have been lost, the people that are displaced, and the destruction of the environment/wildlife.

    Last I heard, 43 still unaccounted for and 13 dead. I saw them escorting that big concrete walk way down the river with these two little tug boats, unbelievable!! I really hope they find those people have just up and left and not told anyone or they are just waiting it out safely. :?

    It is hard to believe looking at the TV that there is so much destruction just 20 minutes up the road. So many places that are just a part of life are under water. My rugby league obssessed 9 year old had to fight back tears when he saw Suncorp Stadium and after seeing the skills of the tug boat drivers wants to be a tug boat driver. So many incredible scenes ..... My heart breaks for people who have lost so much..... Brisbane is a wreck :(

    All Australians and the world should "Rise Up" donate and selll unwanted christmas gifts if you can to support the relief effort. My brother has his house under water in Brisbane thank god his family are all safe. Please support the effort if possible tweet this website if you have twitter I dont (not that cool)

    http://www.qld.gov.au/floods/donate.html

    Please give generously.
    Legally, it's questionable. Morally, it's disgusting. Personally, I like it. :)
