Here's a link to some hires aerial photos of the recent floods. The car in the middle (with black roof) is mine and I live in the building at the bottom. Just zoom out and around to see the extent. PhotoMaps by NearMap. As you can see, the affected area isn't as vast as the news coverage has made out. The badly affected areas were further up stream. My building did get flooded but only the basement car park. Unfortunately, this included the lift control room and so we have no lifts and I live on the 14th floor. I,ve spent the last two days shoveling, hosing, sweeping and pumping mud. By next week I'll either have a body like an olympic athlete or I'll be dead.
