While I was stressing about the lack of rain in California, the folks in Queensland have been coping with the opposite problem: flooding. (Roma is known as the 'Gateway to the Outback').
Today, ire is directed at those who observe rather than help:
Father of four Blair Humphries ran to help Roma locals Viv White, Ricky Schefe, Adam Finch, Leigh Hadwin and Angus Anderson as they saw mum Jane Sheahan and her son Darcy trying to escape the fast-rising torrent that swept their car off the road in Roma on Friday.
Mr Humphries said there were dozens of men lining the way to the water but none had tried to help.
Some, he said, had even tried to film the desperate situation on their mobile phones instead.
