I'm safe MB, I'm on the side of the country where we have extreme drought, and lots of bush fires.
My Sister and my Dad live in Queensland, where the flooding is taking place. My Sister has been evacuated from her home, and will not be able to return for a while yet. Her home has not been badly damaged. My Dad says he's a bit soggy, but not flooded out.
My heart goes out to the people who have lost their families and loved ones.
I hope my dear friends Trimnut2 and Peggyaus, are ok, over there in the East.
