In some of these towns, like lismore, it's not like a couple of streets whent under water. It was the whole town, pretty much. And when it's flooding near the river, that water's running at a furious pace so it's ripped doors off houses and punched glass fronts out of shops. There's garbage hanging from trees. It kind of looks more like a hurricane has hit it than a flood. But alice said she's never seen anything like this.
