The events of the last week were, fortunately, 1000 km. away from Brisbane.
It put the Maleny bushfire of last October into it's 'trivial' perspective.
Here in Queensland we've had flooding in the north.
In November a storm destroyed a lot of the suburb only 2 km. away from us.
It appears like a savage environment but Australia is more beautiful and comfortable than most other places. Europe has had a bit of a tough winter and there were serious floods in the UK last year.
The modern media mean that we hear every detail of every disaster.
That sometimes doesn't allow us to see things clearly because of all the 'spin'.
Yes, the sky can fall on our heads, but if it hasn't happened today that's a plus.
