Standing in the flood

I've been watching the news coverage of the Queensland floods and there really is no eloquent way to describe that kind of damage and devastation. I guess a submerged phone booth can say a thousand words.

It's been getting progressively closer and closer to my parent's house. Which I guess makes it all the more real and not just moving images on a television screen. I still can't pick up the phone to call my Dad [we really are more alike than we think] but my brother says that they're good for the moment.

I forgot to ask him if they brought Tess inside. That big crazy dog would probably knock everything over.
