It is a sad news about flash flood affecting Brisbane at the moment. Just to let everyone know that, the area where we live is on the high land, therefore we are not affected by the flood at all. Been following the news today, it does look kind of frightening. One of the worst affected region in Brisbane is Toowomba which has claimed some lives unfortunately. Thirty other suburbs are expected to be affected with the flash flood.
Currently, the rain is starting to slow down, however the flood are coming fast from the rising tide level is expected to peak on Thusday. Therefore warning was still released for the safety of everyone. Those living in the low-lying area were asked to leave their homes and gathered at an emergency point which is located just near the Royal Brisbane Women Hospital. I hope that the rain will recede soon, so that those affected can get back to their home. As expected, just now, groceries stores shelves was emptying so fast, as prices of perishable goods are expected to increase. We manage to stock extra eggs, rice and some fruits and vegetables.
