[quote:Anonymous Coward 10235146:MV8xNzc1NTIxXzI5NDgzNjEwX0FCQTFCNzRG] I missed out on this round of flooding, not sure whether I feel happy or sad about it. I like a good flood..one that washes away the next neighbourhood but doesnt take your own [/quote]
Original Message
Flood waters rose Monday in parts of Queensland but residents of a threatened town in the Australian state were thrown a lifeline with news that the levee on a swollen river might hold.
Thousands of Australians have been forced to abandon their homes as a record deluge sweeps through areas still reeling from last year's devastating flooding, with St George, in Queensland's south, under most threat Monday.
Many of its residents fled Sunday evening to evacuation centres in nearby Darby or the state capital Brisbane, although some 400 stayed to help limit the damage despite a mandatory evacuation order.
