30 Pics Of Catastrophic Australian Floods That Are Happening Now As 2022 Competes For The Worst Year Award

I was sick for a day and didn't go online. When I got back on, Australia was flooded. I can't keep us with all the disasters these days.

Let me guess- the ice cream machine isn’t working either.

Wait...that means the entire building is underwater.....whoa whoa whoa

If you think my comment makes light of this situation, your sadly McWrong.

My heart goes out to the people suffering, the changing climate is causing so much heartache.

I pray that they are all safe.

Yeah because idiots kept driving into water when told repeatedly NOT too. 80% of our rescues have been because of this the last few days. You are putting our lives at risk because of your inability to follow simple directions when we all have to pull you out of your car like my crew had to yesterday. Just STOP it.

Most people don't realise that the SES is actually a volunteer organisation. These are people putting their lives on the line 24/7 365 days a year for no pay.

They were more than Fijian residents. They are guest workers, here on special visas, and had only been in the country a few days.

Oh no, someone save the cow! 😩😭

Cow on a cold tin roof.

How did it get up there?

I think this is not a climate change, is someone which pilot the weather...

sizin hükümet demedimi develer bizim suyumuzu içiyor deyip hepsini telef etti işte su çekin şimdi

Man, it's like this world is coming to an end.

This is due to land usage changes, Lismore should never have ben built as a town It is simply a flood plain. it was flooding in the 1700 and 1800s, and 1900s, 2000s and is continuing to flood in 2001s and again in the 2020s Speaking as qualified wife of the (now retired) NSW public service Flood Plain Manager, The trouble is that the ignorant political simply overrules the qualified people. And most of these silly people will 'rebuild, just in time for the next floods! And the Council will allow this :-( Talk about King Bloody Canute!!

WE CAN NO MORE CONTROL THE WEATHER OR CLIMATE. YOU ARE DELUDING YOURSELF IF YOU THINK YOU HAVE ANY AFFECT ON THOSE TWO FORCES OF NATURE.

AAAAAAA

Gotta say, climate change is nothing new. The climate has gone through many changes. All scientists agree with this whether they're proponents of the theory of evolution or of creationism (I love the reaction to new information that some people don't like. Don't ask or wonder about it. Just hate it. That's a great way to live in ignorance.)

Atvs do not float

This one needs to go on a no context picture post somewhere.

Thats one strong cable

We have this where I live all the time... building sites that are all "soon to be waterfront" but they keep building on the site anyway. I watched a woman on TV say "I've lived here all my life. We've lost three houses to flooding, but I will rebuild this time too." Because I'm an idiot, and one reason Florida homeowners insurance is so expensive.

The water said "don't mind if I do."

Ironic

Do you really want to live there?

What I need to know is, with the knowledge that this piece of land floods, and the knowledge that Ipswich (upriver) has flooded 4 times since 2010, will they decide to continue the build on this property? Building on a known floodplain is irresponsible.

It's dangerous work too. Running a boat in water of unknown depth over unknown obstacles is not for the fainthearted.

These are the type of people that should be in government.

For a Prime Minister with a background in marketing and who professes to have been chosen by the big chief in the sky himself, it is ironic that under his term we have had the worst fires, floods and plague of all time. And he still hasn't worked out what the big boss is telling him and this is a man who believes in signs. This is a man who waved a piece of coal around in parliment laughing at people worried about climate change ever so pleased with himself. And worse still people here keep voting his corrupt, smug and dangerous government in.

We aren't the largest contributor overall to global warming, but are up there when you look at per capita figures... and our f*****g incompetent religious psychopath "leaders" are bringing lumps of coal into parliament to show how little they care and where their kickbacks come from....

Major coal mining in Oztralia

Where are his family?

Poor bud

This happened in Hurricane Katrina too... utter devastation. My heart goes out to the most helpless, the people who were already struggling to make it and now watching everything vanish before their eyes; and the children and elderly, the animals...

too many :(

Way too many. Elderly found floating in their homes because the water came up too quickly and they had no way out.

You can carry on about this statement all you like. Fact is the people of Queensland consistently vote for governments which are right to far right, and cut back government services is the result. It's hard to have any sympathy for them when they carry on like this. They voted for it. The current state government is Labor, but very conservative Labor, and constrained by past right wing governments funding cuts. The federal government is one which many Queenslanders support. You get what you vote for.

What?! The government failing to protect is citizens properly? I'm shocked 😲
