This book is a memento to all who suffered pain and loss during the worst and most widespread flooding that has ever occurred throughout Queensland. The 'big wet' of Summer 2010/11 brought flooding on a cataclysmic scale to Queensland. Our nation watched in disbelief and horror as flood waters ravaged the countryside, indiscriminately invading homes, ruining livelihoods and shattering the dreams of thousands. Flood Horror and Tragedy captures the magnitude of destruction unleashed by nature and the resultant human anguish through a collection of phenomenal, first-hand accounts from survivors and witnesses. Readers will empathise with the unfortunate, grieve with the bereaved and stand in awe of the emergency services and many selfless others who laid their own lives on the line in order to pluck strangers and friends to safety. |
