Tom, et al,
Sorry about the truncated previous post. As I said, they have had
approx. 100 mm in that area since 9 AM. I have just looked at the
Sydney Morning Herald website and there are terrible scenes of water
and damage throughout the area. Communicar=tions will be difficult
with all that water in the Telstra system. I just hope that those who
built Wivenhoe Dam knew their stuff, with what Anna Bligh describes as
"an 8 metre wall of water" heading towards it, and it is at 140%
capacity. It certainly a dark time for a lot of Queenslanders and my
thoughts are with all affected. A terrible, terrible disaster.

Has anyone heard from Bill & Eileen Jolly or John Hadley? I'm hoping
that
they have been evacuated but they are in the thick of it at the moment.
Fortunately have spoken to Michael Atzeni from the Helidon area, he is
OK
but the power is cut.
If anyone hears any more news can you keep us posted?

If anyone has any news from birders in the Lockyer Valley/Helidon/
Toowoomba
area would be great to hear from you.
I've tried to contact several individuals and heard nothing,
apparently
Grantham is a disaster area, houses have been swept over a kilometre.
I'm sure that you will be seeing reports on the media in the coming
hours
but be prepared for some bad news.....
