Flood in Australia

Beside Brazil, Australia also faces a serious flood in their country where the flood starts in late November across the waterlogged state of Queensland. Australia's third largest city, Brisbane's rivers are rising forcing people to flee both suburbs and skycrapers. The flow of water is terrifying and powerful where it carried away cars and people.

Accroding to the news at wordpress.com,"The water was literally leaping, six or 10 feet into the air, through creeks and over bridges and into parks," Kowald, 53, told The Associated Press on Tuesday. "There was nowhere to escape, even if there had been warnings. There was just a sea of water about a kilometer (a half-mile) wide." Other than that, the flood even crushed the office window, causes the car crashed into the tree and washed away the bridges and sidewalks.

I think this time the flood incident happened in Australia really give an big impacts to Australia whereby not only the huge number of victim is scarified, it also caused big impact on the Australia's economy. Besides that, all the everyday activities and the basic needs also been affected since the road and transportation system are all dysfunctional due to the flood. However, I hope the flood incident will be better as time goes along. The victim's family must be positive and be brave facing this difficulties.

Natural disaster really is an terrifying experience and it came without any warning. My feeling is that since we cannot control the natural disaster that are going to happen, we should treat everyday as our last day and must appreciate everything around us including our family, friends and others so that we will not leave this world with the feelings of regret. We should live a happy life everyday!
