What a great way to show such devestation, I can only imagine what those who live and work there have gone through, and in other parts of the world that have suffered similar events....... :(

interesting way to show that, must be from satellite images to get before and after lined up so well.

Just makes it really clear quite how devastating the flooding has been... Ipswich, Suffolk has/is sending a lot of money to Ipswich, Australia and after seeing the images I can understand why

Some parts of Northern Victoria and Southern Queensland have had a ten year drought, so when the rain came it ran straight off the surface and into the rivers, these rivers are now overflowing 400-500 miles from where the rain happened as they cannot take the combined flow from the hundreds of tributaries coming off the mountains  :(

 :o Staggering to see the scale of the flooding, makes our occasional floods look very tame, must be a nightmare to live through  :(

More info .. and just realise the scale ... :(

Scroll down to the map, Zoom out a tad so you can see the whole of Aus .. give it a couple of seconds to load, then zoom back in to the area you want to look at in detail. Just remember .. Aus from "top to bottom" is bigger than the USA from north to south ..... :(
