Australia - Please pray for us!
Hi all,We need your prayers here in Australia. We're a nation that doesn't comprise of many states (6 states and 2 territories) and a population of Appox 21 million.
We're currently in a natural disaster, 5 states are expected to be devestated by flash flooding, the state of Queensland currently 75% + underwater, there is no electricity, homes being destroyed families are dieing. Where these famalies are being evacuated too are now having to evacuate from there. The weather has started to cover the top of NSW with flash flooding and going underwater, the state I am in has been warned to prepare for flash flooding with 30 millimetres per hour set to fall. South Australia has also been hit with this devestation of flooding and and it set to go down to Tasmania. While Western Australia is bracing itself for a cyclone. Currently the main focus is on QLD where the brunt of this devestation is hitting, by the end of the week most of Australia is set to be effected in some way by flash flooding and cyclones in both WA and northern QLD.
Our entire country is being affected by this natural disaster so please keep us in your prayers, if possible ask around for disaster relief efforts being made in your local community, this is going to be one of the worst if not the worst natural disaster in Australian history.
Here are some things to show you whats been happening.

Yes, Tatum. I\'\'ve located my cousin\'s daughter and her family who live in Ipswich, thank goodness. They were in Perth with her sisters who live there and were due to leave yesterday but have stayed in Perth for another few days. Now checking with family and friends in Brisbane.
