Toowoomba Smashed By Flash Floods

These photos are just astonishing. Massive flooding is now causing massive chaos in SE Queensland and NE NSW: particularly so in Toowoomba.

I fondly remember my visit there in 2006.

Toowoomba made headlines a few years ago (2005) because the city was so dry that they were considering recycling sewage into drinking water in a desperate move to make ends meet.

Now, it looks like it's so wet there, and there is so much water everywhere, that they may have accidentally introduced sewage into all their drinking water. The El Niño/ La Niña pendulum is a fearsome thing!

Queensland is taking a huge, huge hit these days. Recovery will take years and require endless amounts of money.

These photos are just shocking....
