During "nap" time (we were cuddling on my bed together) I was perusing some newspapers online and came across some articles on the flooding in Australia. We haven't spoken to Dave's parents in a few weeks and I have been trying to keep up with the weather/flood reports online, but it's hard to find the information you want some days. Anyhoos, much to my surprise there were all these reports on flash flooding in Toowoomba! What the heck! Right through the CBD too! Quickly I am typing away checking on Ros and Bruce and trying to get more info. Why can't I find a good international news station here?
Tonight Dave and I took some time to look at some video of the flood and wow..... A few months ago Delanah and I were in the Denver Aquarium and they have an area there that shows/describes how a flash flood happens. It was an interesting exhibit and as I was watching the videos tonight I kept getting snippets in my head from what the exhibit was saying. It's just a whole different ballgame when you see it playing out before you, in an area you know.
I am worried about Ros and Bruce. They aren't in the flash flood area, but Warwick has had flooding and there is no immediate end in sight for the rain. Very scary. I haven't felt this far away from them in a long time. We were just there! I am grateful this didn't happen while we were there, but I wish we were there to help them as well; does that make sense? I am calling tomorrow afternoon, just to check on them, and hopefully get some piece of mind. Prays are definitely called for tonight.
