I live in Brisbane, the capital of Queensland in the SE corner. Today they predict our flood will peak, higher than the previous highest flood of 1974. The Brisbane River runs right through the CBD (below is a photo of our central business district from then) so as you can imagine many businesses and homes are going to be affected.
Regardless of what the river does today the devestation and destruction the past two weeks of flooding have wrought on Queensland will last a long time.
My family is safe. My home is safe. I'm one of the lucky ones. My thoughts are with those who haven't been so fortunate.
