How's Keith doing?

[Shawn Tayler]

I heard from Keith today:

/*

Oh Yes! Its now a disaster of gigantic proportions as 80% of Queensland 
is now under water and a tragic loss of life as far a Toowoomba and the 
Lockyer Valley is concerned.
Brisbane is fast flooding as I type in; mostly in the flood plain that 
was revealed in the 1974 flood, places that flooded then are going
under 
first. However many of the properties
are under new ownership and most have not done their homework and
looked 
to see the history of that district. I would not buy a home near a
river 
in Queensland as if
it rains enough as it has done: the average rainfall has been 50ml/hr 
some places 100 or 150ml/hr, over 24 hrs that is tons of water and we 
have had it since last Friday.

If you remember we ar in the hillier western part of Brisbane, but 
Toowoomba is about 800mtrs above sea level and that did not stop the 
'inland sunami' they had visit them.

So yes we are dry, ground too soggy to mow, and it needs it, but not
for 
at least another week.

Thanks for thinking about us, Keith and Val

Wow.  Must be quite a time down there.
