My family and I are ok, but surrounded by water near Ipswich.  My in laws have lost everything as there house was swept away, with them in it, in Grantham.

Marie Van Straten who is interviewed at the end of this clip is my mother in law.  They are the ones who lost their home.  (its ok you can have a laugh at what she says- she is now on Youtube!-and she has a laugh about it now) They are safe now in Gatton Hospital and will be living with us when they are discharged.

My Dad, who lives in our old place at Karalee, has also be inundated with water.  We heard from a neighbour yesterday that the houses were submerged to their rooves.  Dad is also living with us - so we have a full house!

If anyone is able their is a Flood Relief Appeal which you can donate to if you are able: http://www.qld.gov.au/floods/donate.html
