Wow, saw some video of the flashflooding in Toowoomba with cars just washing away from a carport. Hope you stay dry.

All the best mate, was watching the footage of Toowoomba and nearly didn't recognise the place. It was only a week ago that I went for a swim in East creek.

Hopefully it eases off before it goes over the wall at Wivenhoe. Let us know if any of us can do anything to help.

Made me think of the canoe ad... You gotta have a canoe.

Ah, good ol' Brisvegas. It's either bone dry, on fire or under water.

Good luck out there.

There are a couple of people here in Brisbane. I hope everyone comes through it okay. As I post, there are suburbs already flooding.

Actually I'm Gold Coast, and luckily live about 1000M avove sea level...

Scorps, hate to tell you this but holding back a river of water is like trying to stop yourself peeing after 3 slabs... futile...
be safe ok,
I think Clarkson hit the nail on the head with the Toybota...
