toowoomba

Please spare a thought for all those caught up in the flash flooding in Toowoomba today and in particular HC's own Robbbb and any other Hot Copperite's from Toowoomba.I was raised in Toowoomba (hence the 435 in my nic),just a stone's throw from East Creek and was stunned to see areas I knew well inundated.What happened today is unprecedented in Toowoomba's history.To see Russell St and Dent st under water is beyond belief.I still have family in the Lockyer valley and many of them and their neighbours are leaving their homes tonight and seeking higher ground.
