Good to read that Auran staff are all personally ok even if the office is in darkness.
Reminds me of the early days and the "Brew Crew" when we seemed to have much more personal contact, and knowledge, even pictures(!), of the team etc....

Being so far on the opposite side of the Globe, it is easy for us to forget, and to not keep up with distant weather, and current events, going on in Australia.
Someone please educate us on exactly what the conditions are like there.
I know there was alot of rain since before Christmas, and several more rainstorms, and severe catastrophic flooding in some localized places. And alot of other outside perimeter locations were also heavily affected.
So is it still raining ?
Are the floods still high ?
Are things subsiding, and cleanup is initiated ?
Or are you constantly being hit by wave after wave of torrential rains ?

In most of the flooded areas of Queensland the floodwaters have dropped far enough that the clean-up operation is underway. There will be flooding for months to come in the western region as the floodwaters make their way down rivers into NSW and eventually SA. Authorities are still looking for the missing and it will be a few years before things could be considered 'back to normal'.
In NSW the early floods have gone, but many rural western towns are expecting some flooding in the following months as the QLD water moves downstream.
In Victoria many towns are still isolated by floodwaters but I believe the worst is over.
I believe in Tasmania the floods have dropped and clean up operations are well underway.
To put the floods in perspective, every eastern Australia state has had major floods in the last 2 months. While QLD had the most destructive (and covered the largest area - eqv. to Texas + New Mexico), VIC has seen record breaking floods and at one stage flooding affected an area in NSW almost from the QLD to VIC border.

Hot, super hot, mega hot, wet, (add snow for a week or so ago).
South Australia somewhere was 48 degrees - celsius that is.
They asked for rain - & they got it!
