I've taped it & will watch it soon, @Sister
I would think the emotional & overall stress & loss of property from either flood or fire (how can you choose an area that won't get burnt?) would be very similar to what we are going thru - as no-one is pre programmed to deal with this sort of shit. (Particularly as they often have family or good friends who die as a result of it too.)
Townsville - is having the biggest flood in living history of the area ...... that can't really be considered 'buying in a known flood zone' .....
