Good luck to all those in the affected areas - here's hoping the whole thing abates soon, even if it does seem unlikely. >.< | ||

I remember back in grade 8, they said some hurricane MIGHT reach ontario and it just rained that day. The only natural disaster i evr went through was the time when it snowed a lot, then rained which caused everything to be slippery so the park became an ice rink but thats a boot it. | ||

Same with British Columbia. I heard that if there was a Tsunami, it would hit Vancouver Island. And the unstable plates california has is near.. Nothing happened so far in Vancouver except a major flood which happened 10 years ago. lol up to my knees | ||

Even if humans are having some sort of effect that's causing climate change it's pretty much impossible to pin the blame for any particular event on us. Who the fuck knows whether these floods would have happened without human activity on this planet? | ||

There are already 10 confirmed deaths, you'd think they'd exercise a little more caution. The deaths came from a freak "super storm" that emptied onto the side of a mountainous town basically making an inland tidal wave that crashed down into a valley. Thats not whats happening to brisbane, we're just getting rising flood waters, not quite as viscious but gonna cause a shitload of damage | ||

Then, look at the big picture and pin the blame on the increased number of catastrophes and the increased temperature since the century we started disrupt the equilibrium of the carbon cycle. Looking at small incidents instead of trends is just ignorance. | ||

The website has raised over 7million and rising. I am actually in charge of the Premiers Donation Appeal website, (as such we are in charge of that website listed above - although our one did crash under the load, and some devs put up a bare bones one - which is the link above) They had a telethon appeal on tv that was meant to last 2 hours on Sunday. It went for 3 and a half. Raised over 2 million through our application alone (and 6-8million for the night). That was prior to the toowoomba flash flood, and the flooding thats heading our way. I'm stocked up on water and supplies (i live right in the city near the botanical gardens, near the river). Apparently i'm going to be cut off from leaving the apartment (i live on the 8th floor) for 3 days due to the floods! Electricity is being taken offline tomorrow morning at 7am as the substation will be flooded. This could potentially be the biggest disaster and clean up bill in Australias history. I'm safe, but others have lost everything. Gl to all. | ||
