Brisbane, apparently.
For a brief second I was panicking that there was a huge storm outside without me knowing, after seeing this:

| I lived in sarina near mackay and I am glad I didnt buy a house and stay there as this is the second time in 3 years huge floods have destroyed everything. I think the universe is punishing them for sending all that coal to China. |

The press always say "this flood is the worst since 1974" or "this flood is worse than 1974" for every flood there's been between 1974 & 2011. But so far, nothing has come near 1974. (24 feet or about 6.6 metres in the city at the Port Office gauge). I was stuck in Grafton, NSW for a week, catching a train from Melbourne to Brisbane, as landslides had closed the main rail loop through the Macpherson Ranges. Eventually I got a bus through to Murwillumbah & along what was left of the Gold Coast highway, regularly changing lanes to avoid washouts.
Keep an eye on that developing low. If it turns into a cyclone & heads ashore anywhere near Brisbane in the next week, then a major disaster could be imminent.

| Hopefully the OP made it to his local police box and had them help track her down due to his circumstances. That's what I would have done. |

it all palls into insignificance when you compare it to what happened at darwin in 1974 with cyclone tracy
the whole city was razed to the ground and had to be evacuated and rebuilt... |

And Tokyo with the earthquake.
That will happen any day now again by the way. I'm making sure to not go there until after it happens again. It generally happens every 80 years, about 90 years ago was the last time.
Bear in mind Tokyo city is on THREE fault lines all slowly pushing against each other, and one day they're gonna slip again and the estimated damage is in the hundreds of trillions of dollars. And some death.
Probably why they're trying to anti-earthquake everything over there. |
