I am just happy you are here but I do wish there was something we could do for Australia.

I really appreciate all the concern my friends have shown for the
plight of my fellow Australians...well those in Northern Queensland anyway. Perhaps some time I should write a series of posts on all the Australian States with a bit of local color thrown in for fun.

Thank you for the info on that area. I have known little about Australia. This is a terrible tragedy; I am glad your family has not been affected yet and may not be.

All I can add is God bless all those victims...I watched a news segment yesterday and Kabuski, I watched an elderly woman who has lost everything and when she cried --- she was so stoic and describing and then she couldn't go on and well, I was moved too greatly by that...I had to turn off ---

I haven't been keeping up with current events, so I will check the news to see about those floods. Oregon also has a desert, which is really 1/4 of it, but most people only hear about the green side. I live in the dryer side where wheat grows and there are empty fields out of town. Oregon also has a beautiful coast and forests! I hope to visit Australia someday!

These floods are just terrifying, and those snakes! I'd die quietly of fright, never mind drowning. Perhaps we're just as well to live here in the grey lands, where we never see hurricanes, cyclones, volcanoes, or poisonous snakes.

Good to know that your family are safe
I've been seeing the shocking pictures on the news and feel so sorry for those poor people who are caught up in it. A work colleague's family live in Pakistan and, thankfully, they also managed to avoid the floods that hit that country last year

I'm glad at least your family is safe! But it certainly is a catastrophe involving a huge area, bigger than France and Germany put together, according to the news...

Good to know your loved ones are not in the flood zone, Kabu.
I'm keeping my fingers crossed for all. I can't remember a stretch of so many natural disasters and storms in any decade prior to this one. Maybe they've been happening all along, but it seems to me we've had earthquakes, killer tsunamis, vicious hurricanes, cluster tornadoes, volcanoes erupting, blizzards, drought and firestorms all over the world and one after the other.

I suppose all these disasters have been going on forever Kabu It is only when the reality hits one on the screen that one realizes we are lucky this turbulence has not affected our own little homes at present.

I am glad to hear that your family is safe Kabu. You are so prolific with your blogging my dear friend , I got to read two or three of your blogs everytime I get on line to be up to date :-) ( and I try to get in here at least once a day! loll) I am not complaining... I love to read you and get caught up in your amazing reasonings, but I want you to know why I seem to comment only once every two or three postings loll. Living on Miami Beach and before that having spent part of my childhood in Cuba, I am quite familiar with the damage wind storms can do. I am sorry your Australia is going through that now. Lessons from past dissasters have taught me that usually regions affected by hurricanes usually spring back fast and become even more prosperous than they were before. I am sure that is poor consolation to those who have lost dear ones or are going through the devastation of loosing all they own now . We must pray that G-d grants them strength and thank Him for what we do not have to deal with. Be well my friend. xoxoxo
