I've always liked his style of writing, but SMH journalist really explained clearly to me just what's going on

Quote:

In this country we measure great volumes of water by Sydney Harbour's 500 gigalitres. From 4 am today until 4 pm, nearly a Sydney Harbour will find its way through Brisbane and out to sea. And that will go on for days.

ie. this much water

flowing through this

They reckon less than 40% of affected homes are properly insured...

And now it's Victoria's turn :shake:

The sad part is that it gets even more shocking once you see the damage the water has left behind.
We had out of ordinary floods a couple of months ago here and so did some other countries but this is off the charts and those we had were far worst than they
have been in years.
