Here is a video on YouTube getting a lot of coverage... You won't believe it! I can tell, from my Victim Service Training, that their laughter is nervous laughter. This is a typical response in such situations. The comment on YouTube range from crazy to positive. It is a scary situation.

Amazing footage of East Creek near Chalk Drive / Chalk Lane rising and washing away lots of cars during Flash Flood in Toowoomba on Monday 10 January 2011. This is some of the best footage I have seen of the Flood and was taken from the second floor of our office which backs onto Chalk Lane.
It shows just how fast the creek turned into a torrent and quickly flooded Chalk Drive and Chalk Lane.
I also got some video of where the creek crosses Neil Street and some video of the aftermath and the huge amount of cars damaged and piled on top of one another in the Chalk Drive car park.

With the incredible exposure that my video is receiving all over the internet and media worldwide I would like to encourage you to donate to the relief appeals.
You can donate to the Queensland Government Appeal at: http://www.qld.gov.au/floods/donate.html
Or the Churches of Christ Care Queensland Flood Appeal here:

Please pray for us. There are many people who are suffering through this.

Jenn -- I read a blog called 'Adventures Before Dementia' by Dianne who is from Queensland. (She lives in apparently on a hill and is safe, but she is right there. She has had some amazing pictures -- it seemed to bring it closer to me since I have read her blog for some time.
Just a frightening thing.
Please don't print my other comment. I feel so terrible for all the Aussies who are suffering right now. We've been seeing the photos and videos in Hawaii and our hearts are aching for them.
