    Townsville in crisis. 8.30 is the danger time.

    Stay safe, people.

    Townsville flood zone faces further inundation as council moves to fully open dam spillway gates
    I’m pretty sure the dinosaurs died out when they stopped gathering food and started having meetings to discuss gathering food

    A bookshop is one of the only pieces of evidence we have that people are still thinking

    At the top end it's flood, the bottom end, Fire. They say these things are sent to test us. At present I feel so flaming helpless, It's frustrating watching this unfold, and able to do nothing to help.

    Vic firefighters warn 'too late to leave'

    Townsville's Ross river dam gates are now fully open.

    Hmmm, not every day that a dam registers 200% full and needs the floodgates fully opened into an already flooded area.
    A Q100 event that will probably rewrite the record books.

    Ironically Townsville is quite often referred to as ‘Mt Isa by the sea’ locally because it is so dry compared to most other coastal towns up here.

    Because councils are corrupt and are bribed by the land sharks and real estate criminals

    FFS I don’t think what is happening right now can be compared to ‘every ten years’.
