In news outside of myself, bloody hell. Queensland Police Service has just urged residents in low-lying areas between Gatton and Ipswich to immediately self-evacuate to higher ground. Huge wall of water in Toowoomba. Look at the vid on that page. These floods. It's unbelieveable.
For those outside Oz; the flood-affected area is larger than France and Germany combined.
