I agree @joanstewart, flooding is become very widespread and a lot of damage and deaths. No country seems to be missing out. Goodness, doesn't it take a long time to recover. Brisbane is still full of dirt and rubble etc, my sister said the smell of the Brisbane River going down was terrible. We had drenching rains a few weeks ago when there was low pressure trough and on a positive note the heavy rain cleaned the streets.
