停電及網路失去訊號 25 小時候 (~2pm, Jan 12, 2011 - ~3pm, Jan 13, 2011)，我們兩個在家的生活一切回復正常，當然，Brisbane 還在繼續淹大水中。新聞內容還是很可怕，目前統計，15 人死亡，61 人仍然失蹤，Brisbane 這裡 120,000 戶停電或曾經停電，26,000 戶淹水，超過 5000 business 淹水，有些甚至是沒頂，最大的果菜批發中心也快要沒頂了。不過聽新聞說，好像有保險公司開始找漏洞不願付錢，如果這真的發生，可能會天怒人怨了。 Brisbane river 是貫穿 Queensland 東南區的大河，這次其自身及所有其支流流過的地方都大淹水，很多淹水的地方過去本來就是洪氾平原或是沼澤地，但是當這裡的人口漸漸成長到兩百多萬，這裡雖然沒有河流截彎取直 (ps. 不是很確定，不過 Brisbane river 彎彎繞繞的，應該沒有吧)，但是還是把這些留給洪水的地方拿去住人了。 看到這裡救災的情況，政府 媒體 義工 一般民眾的表現都非常另我激賞，這是我第一次欽佩澳洲人及其政治人物，我覺得台灣那些把天災人禍當作政治鬥爭的政客們都最好去自殺。 我很喜歡州長下面的那一段話： Deadly floods fail to break Brisbane (ABC News, Jan 13, 2011)"I want us to remember who we are," she said.
