Crazy dangerous flooding (rain plus tsunami) battering Australia (Brisbane) today, dozens feared dead. Crazy footage of cars floating downriver like canoes on the Internets.

Water expected to hit almost 5 meters near Brisbane. Shit.

Only smile-worthy news I've seen:

I hope our CPF Australian correspondent hasn't floated off. Although if I remember right he didn't have a lot of charitable things to say about Brisbane when it was dry there.

Tried to choke back all kinds of tears watching this, and failed.

Yeah, it's pretty shitty. Went to law school on the Gold Coast which is about 40 miles south of Brisbane, so know many people who are doing it pretty tough at the moment. Have a friend who's coming down to live with me for a short while this thing blows over.

Gee, Queenslanders must have pissed off somebody important cos they're about to get hit by a Katrina-esque cyclone.
