At least the sharks didn't have bears riding on their backs.

We seem to have missed this bullet.
Our AU office is well out of the flood zone for Brisbane
(which, from
what I've seen, is the CBD), though one of our employees had to
evacuate his home, and several others were not able to make
it to work
because of flooding between home and office.
I'm a bit of underwater at work at the moment myself,
though in a
completely metaphorical sense, so I don't know how much I can
contribute to the discussion, but my sympathies, sir, and
best of
luck.
