We're Still OK

OK. So maybe I was a little cocky before.  I didn't really think the flooding would hit Brisbane.  I saw all of the devestation in the rural, outlying areas and felt bad for everyone, but none of it really hit home.  But today, we went into the grocery store for some paper towels and entered into sheer madness.  The shelves were swept clean and people had a crazed look about them.  When we asked what they were frantic about, they answered that the floods were coming.  And they are.  Buildings have sandbags around them.  Everyone is stocked up.  We're waiting for the floods.  We're OK for now.  The river is holding steady.  Tomorrow may be a different story, though.  Luckily, I live on the second level of an apartment building.  It it gets too bad, I will head down to the Gold Coast with a friend.  So, please don't worry.  We're still OK.  I will continue to provide updates as I'm able.
