Whenever it floods, it's usually a few days wait and then everything picks up again. No big deal. Having the bridge wash out slowed things down, but they're supposed to have it usable tonight, an amazing accomplishment.

The complication this year is the extensive flooding inland.

I feel bad for the truck drivers, stuck for several days not just a couple, and not getting paid.

As for abuse in the supermarket, I saw similar on facebook. Seems there are people disconnected from reality, they don't seem to have a working brain. Or have they somehow missed the fact we're cut off from the rest of the country?

Edit: Apparently there's 60 trucks left Townsville, heading north.
