Floods

I haven't left my house in 3 days. Although we are not affected by the floods directly I have seen videos and images of what it's done to the rivers and creeks around my area. I dread seeing the devastation when the water recedes. It feels so surreal seeing images in aerial views of the much loved Brisbane city.

I have lived here my whole life and never want to move out of this great city. What will be left of it? I have watched and cried at the stories of brave Aussies that have managed to get out and save some possessions and most importantly their loved ones. Even watching the animals, wildlife and people's livelihood be swept away by the river.

Everything else besides this disaster has felt irrelevant. I can barely leave my couch, just waiting to see how high the river will go. I can't think of anything else! If I feel like this how does the people that have evacuated their homes feel? I can't bare to think about what they're going through.

I pray for everyone in our state to keep safe and for our SES and volunteers to be safe and recognize the amazing job they are doing.
