High-resolution aerial photos taken over Brisbane last week have revealed the scale of devastation across dozens of suburbs and tens of thousands of homes and businesses.

The aerial photos of the Brisbane floods were taken in flyovers on January 13 and January 14.

Hover over each photo to view the devastation caused by flooding.

This is part one of an ABC News special presentation showing before and after photos of the floods.

Such destruction.

It isn't called a "flood plain" for nothing.

Living in a flood plain is a risky business - this hammers the impact home of when the risk occurs.

Authorities seem quite happy to encourage it though. I bet a lot will be rebuilt, only to be washed away again. This is not the first time it flooded....

John, it is an indictment of the rampant uncontrolled development in QLD since Bjelke-Petersen was in power, nothing changed. This has been coming for years, the government at all levels has a lot to answer. All Australian governments are corrupt from the top down. You are right it will happen again.

Ever seen a film called The everlasting secret family (based on a Frank Moorhouse story)? Very hard to get hold of, but when you see it you will know why

Yes sadly you are right about the government............likewise the "big" business's in town are exactly the same - or at least the ones I had to deal with are!!!!!

A fish rots from the head. (apparently)

Australia: A Year of Unexplainable Radar Patterns and Historic Changes in Weather. Any Connection?
Posted January 6, 2011
By Colin Andrews

On January 15th, 2010, parts of Australia were suffering from a devastating thousand year
drought. Then the strange doughnut ring (above) appeared on radar over the south west, and things
began to change - really change.

More and more reports of ever changing radar rings and spokes began to show up on a regular
basis across the major cities throughout the continent and no one seemed to be able say what
caused them.

I made inquiries with the Australia Bureau of Meteorology who replied that some radar anomalies had
normal explanations, but some of those I queried did not. They posted a note on their website to the
effect that they could not identify the cause of the patterns.

What was concerning was that coincidentally or not, dramatic changes began talking place in the
weather itself and new records began to take place, not of drought now but of record 100 year floods
and in some cases exactly where the strange radar designs had appeared.

In early March the weather in some parts had gone from a 1000 year drought to a 100 year flood. This was my
page on March 10, 2010. Copyright: Colin Andrews

Select for full article of 100 Year Flood
Some researchers and scientists who are in contact with me believe HAARP might be involved, I
simply do not know but on November 29, 2010 after a short lull in radar geometries, a strange
series of spokes forming a cross appeared on the North West coast and more in various
locations days after which were again followed by more record floods - this time even worse
than the 100 year floods but of biblical proportions.

Is there a tangible connection and is this a case of National or International weather control at
work?

The research into the radar patterns began HERE

For those who have data of interest please contact me.

Look along the Mississippi River (and others) for instances of rebuilding, many times for some families. "I ain't ever leaving this here river".
