I heard something ridiculous like the floodwaters covered an area greater than France and Germany combined. That's crazy.

I'm worried about it, and I'm really sad for the people affected, but Australia gets something like that every second year. This whole incident happened a couple of decades back, and those bushfires a year or so back had a much more higher cost than this one.

I'm not saying I'd want something like that to happen, and it is bad, but they probably knew that it was a possibility when they lived there, and a lot worse stuff happening lately.

What a hero. They call him their "little hero," and yeah they mean he was young, but he's more than a little hero for that. I hope the younger brother is okay.

How are our Australian Kradenettes affected by the flooding? As far as I know, none of you live in the flooded area, but that doesn't mean you're not impacted by it.

EDIT: Also, moved to GD. The flood is serious business, but it's not the sort of topic we hide in the SRS BSNS forum.

Says the person called "Hell". :awe:

Anyway, the cyclones have been all over the news. Apparently one of the "safe houses" actually collapsed with how powerful it was, but luckily, one of the people who organised it actually closed it down and relocated all the people to the Red Cross centre that was apparently nearby. Extremely luckily, there were zero casualties \o/

Also, there's talk of a flood levy on the news, where the government wants to pay a tac on rebuilding, but no idea what's going to happen to that, and fruits are expensice (no mangoes DDDD:)

And that's your news from Australia.

Hey, this is kinda a srs topic. So don't start putting the notion/belief of "God" in here okay.

Yeah Kiki, none of us are living in the affected areas but still the devastation is quite bad. The damage bill is through the roof and there's also the problem of trauma. Bushfire, flood, flood, cyclone. What's next, an earthquake?

Sorry Kitty~

We should be basically immune from earthquakes, though. Australia's good as far as fault lines go.

Adachi is not amused.

The floods have mostly subsided so it's all pretty much just cleanup now... which is going to be really expensive. The government is looking at taxing us about 1% of our yearly earnings to pay for it because they're too stubborn to borrow money and have no damn surplus because they're idiots, meaning there's a lot of uproar about how this is going to be solved. As if that wasn't bad enough, Cyclone Yasi struck another part of the same state a couple of days back. For the record, when it hit it was a Category 5 hurricane - we're talking a storm on par with Katrina, here. Once it moved inland it died down fairly quickly, but the initial impact was pretty harsh in a lot of areas.

That's the worst of the chaos, but it's not all of it. Parts of western Australia are experiencing some pretty bad bushfires, I believe there's some flash floods in Victoria (southeast part and also where Kuroi lives - he's probably the most in danger right now), and Sydney (where most of us live) is... pretty good. We've got a serious heat wave though, around 40/100 today.

Now is not a good time to be an Australian. There's always something out there wanting to kill you, but normally nature is a little more placid than this.

Again, though, most of us should be safe... not sure about Kuroi, but everyone else is well out of the firing line.

I wouldn't mind paying an extra 1% for the floods.

I also wouldn't mind the Government borrowing the money.

I don't think I'd make that much difference either way~
