If you haven't heard, there has been a bit of rain lately on the eastern coast of Australia.
Unfortunately, there has been some flash flooding in Toowoomba which for those of you who will not know, sits on the very top of a mountain range. The received 6 inches of rain in 30 minutes, and due to having a large amount of rainfall in the last two weeks, the following happened:

This fell into the already sodden valley below, plenty of news photos and videos if you care to look. Many people have been swept away, including those in cars trying to flee was was a 6-foot high wall of water in the valleys.
In 7 hours time, Brisbane's CBD will have 12 substations switched off to prevent electrical shorting across the city. Many buildings and homes will be flooded in the course of the next 3 days. Estimates of 6500 homes to be inundated tomorrow alone. Thursday is likely to be the worst day in Brisbane.
Please, spare a thought for these people.
