Hi all,
Check out the footage in the link. Some scary shit. Over 60 people missing, 9 confirmed dead. Flood his heading my way into Brisbane city. I had to evacuate all the people at work. Not cool... Made sure I moved all my dj gear upstairs.
Flooding has taken over 75% of Queensland Australia. Thats massive its ridiculous.

Anyways best wishes to all those affected.

Can't link to the BBC video outside of the UK, but here's the text that accompanied it. Apparently there's atleast a couple more months of this...
The Australian state of Queensland is suffering its worst flooding for more than half a century, with natural disasters declared across an area of a million square kilometres.
2010 was the third wettest year on record says the Australian Bureau of Meteorology.
So why has there been so much rain along eastern board of Australia? BBC Meteorologist, Nina Ridge, says the persistent rainfall has been the result of a weather phenomenon called La Niña.
La Niña is a weather pattern that affects the Pacific Ocean region, and occurs when surface sea temperatures are cooler than normal in the eastern Pacific, and warmer than normal in the western Pacific.
Normal conditions
Normally, cold water comes up from the deep sea and pools near the coast of South America.
Eastern trade winds drag the cold water from South America across the equator towards Australia. The cold water is gradually warmed by the sun as it reaches Australia.
Rain clouds build along the coast of Australia due to the warm moist air, while it tends to stay dry along the Pacific coast of South America.
La Niña
During La Niña, the cold water that pools near the coast of South America surges across the Pacific and there is a greater build up of warmer water along the eastern coast of Australia.
As a result, there is a greater contrast in sea surface temperatures between the east and west Pacific, and a greater contrast in air pressure.
The easterly trade winds become stronger due to this contrast, dragging warm, moist air along the Australian coastline, creating larger rain clouds and producing more rainfall.
An El Niño weather event is when warm water pushes towards the central Pacific, the cold water retreats and rain falls in the central Pacific area. Strong El Niño years can cause droughts along the eastern coast of Australia.
