Channel 9 gets a like from me for allowing viewers to comment. Thank you. A much needed service. Stay safe people and listen to safety instructions. They dont ask you to do this stuff for nothing.
Rebuild somewhere else.... higher.
May God bless those in North Queensland who are suffering from the floods! ❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏……
Don"t forget your pets and livestock
Dont forget your pets folks 😢 Save a stray!!!
As someone that got buggered over here in Napier NZ, I can honestly say that ones with common sense will try to get out of the way and the ones with big egos will stay and then whine about not getting rescued in the middle of the floods. Good luck and material things aren't worth your life!!!
Got nowhere to go and no way to get there except wade through floodwaters for several kilometres.
@@leftoverthoughts2275 Warnings have been on going for the last 4 to 5 days! You were already flooded by then?
We need a root and stem review to stop councils allowing developers to build in low lying areas. 15m flood twice within 100years. Rebuild somewhere else.
People live where they can afford to live.moving somewhere else will up the prices of houses and infrastructure,many people won`t be able to afford it.
Time has no bearing on where floods happen or the extent to which they occur. The whole 'one in a hundred year flood' that was peddled in 2019 is nothing more than media sensationalism. This kind of flood could happy every year for 100 years, it also may not happen for another 1000.
Our council subdivided in a flood zone…. Greed overrules
Please stay safe and hope you have a swift recovery. Much love from the states ❤
Please stay safe for everyone in North QLD! Two of my friends from Oonoonba just evacuated, and I strongly encourage everyone in the Black Zone to do so as well. There's a lot of rain and wind, so please take shelter appropriately. "If it's flooded, forget it."
They should not have bought in a flood zone 😂
@@haywoodjablowme883 sometimes things cannot be helped. besides, its not my problem anyway. i dont live in a flood zone, but i am concerned for my friends' health and well-being.
Meanwhile we are melting here in Victoria.
Thoughts and wishes go to those within the flood areas, I was in the Queensland flood during 2011-2012 (I had graduated from Kilcoy, then moved to Toogoolawah for High School when it happened), we lost a lot and I hope others can get to safety as much as possible.
I see a couple of crocs out there... be safe! 😥🙏🙏🙏
Yes many Crocs are been seen apparently ,stay safe n take care
They choose to live with crocs
@@nadinaannenot everyone chose that. It’s part an parcel with living on the east north coast.
@@theforensicastrologer yes they do choose that. They can live in the bottom half of Australia where there are no crocs.
@@theforensicastrologer You tell me how they are FORCED to live in that area ?
Recently had Queenslander bagging Melbourne’s weather. Lived up there, but never again. Sorry for the people.
I'm an ex Victorian who came up here. 8- 9 months of the year it's gorgeous. 8-9 months of the year it's cold & windy, grey & miserable in Victoria. I'll take the occasional dramas over that, can't deal with the the cold now....
@ temperature here has been around 18° to 40° since about September. As we speak, it’s 33°. BOM says no rain coming in their 10 day forecast. We are all capable of deluding ourselves. I’ve lived in many parts of QLD. 3 to 4 months, May June July, is nice, but your 8/9 months is Pandora’s box.
Now what did the premier do about the homeless on the streets of Townsville?
How is that relevant?
Who cares!
True mate . But people make choices . Homeless and abject poverty is a community problem . All government departments are responsible and doing as best they can . Under the circumstances . ?? And that’s how I see it . Andrej Kondisenko Cairns Australia 🇦🇺
I just want to know if that guy fishing at the bus stop caught anything?
A bloke caught a 1.5 meter Barramundi from the Road while fishing off the back of his Ute ,a mate told me last night ,who lives in Townsville
😂
Just waiting for the headline - man fishing at bus stop, gets taken by crocodile
Please take your PETS, they depend on you ❤ my prayers for everyone 🙏🙏
My thoughts are with everyone particularly my family. Stay safe.
I always laugh at news readers, there is always two of them, one says half a sentence and the second one completes it, what a waste of money. no need for two at all.
Got to be diverse have both genders. Someone might get offended 😂😂😂
I am more surprised they have comments turned on. They don't like people talking the truth.
Please stay safe everyone!!!!
Its Cyclone season ,the norm for North Queensland .So much for the Greens warnings that the Dams will never be full again and the Rivers will be dry by 2020 .
Jesus that 2020 prediction was decades ago how far behind are you
@@DoctorProph3t No ,the older prediction was ,that it will never Snow again
Just a it of information about 1977 flood in Ingham . I had 1.7 Mtr of flood water under my high house in 5 Gard St Ingham 🏡 At night the wind picks up making a swell of 1mtr and water pressure builds under your floor . Very dangerous situation . LISTEN to Emergency Services . Evacuate if ordered to . Your life is priceless . Stay Safe . Stay Out of Flood waters . . Andrej Kondisenko Cairns Australia 🇦🇺
Yeah, and batteries don't catch fire.
And they forgot about the radiation coming from EV's, wind turbines, solar.
Australia's foremost expert on climate change and chief fearmonger, Tim Flannery, said the dams would never be full again in 2013.
How embarrassing! He's been in hiding since then.
Telling people to leave is great but please remember that criminal gangs in Townsville have no fear of police or care for anything but stealing.if you want people safe then use the same police to police the places that are abandoned.not just those who obey you.
You think the police are going to hang around flooded areas?
@davebradshaw3188 nah just the criminals,they have less fear
What about the crocodiles?
😂😅😂
at last! I can give this YT channel a Thumbs Up!
The first!
Let's see if I can keep up with the thumbs up!
sad news
My friend just drove up to Queensland
Everyone please stay safe god’s blessing you all 🙏
What a load of drama. I'm glad your safe with your life? A bit too far. It's not in Cairns by the way it's just Townsville
Keep of the road's including buses!!!, Keep safe, this weather 🙏 🙌 won't last forever!!!, Anything material can be replaced, Human life can't!!!, we're all 🙏 praying for you and hope to see you on the other side!!!, And a message to all you Kid's out there, Stay Away From Storm Water Drains!!!, Very dangerous indeed!!!, God 🙌 Bless and keep safe and make sure your pet's are safe, also!.❤
Shame cairns wasn’t afforded timely evac orders last year during Jasper. Left to fend for ourselves during and after
Again/ It's a tragedy!
yeh true overated news readers its norm up here its wet season we have it about this time every yr
@@codzy3532 I know my sister & family lives there, this time only my niece was affected away on holidays & her son as he can't go out on the boat, his employment, the rest are away from there thank GOD!
Why’s no state of emergency been declared yet
Nice red tie
You are full of it!
May God bless and be with us all at this global warming heat wave and flush floodings time..... praying for everyone, stay safe.
Why arent tunnels build underground from queenslsnd to the rest of Australia to channel the water. ?
Do you have any idea the scale of a project like that? It’d take 100 years and trillions of dollars.
It’d be literally infinitely easier to invest in flood prevention infrastructure like Holland has or just not build in flood prone areas.
These kinds of floods will get more frequent because the damn ice caps are melting, we’ve already seen the rivers rising and the banks changing.
Because that will make us pay for water 😂
The top end of the country feeds our artesian basin. Facts
@@DoctorProph3tTrue. But if it had been started 2O years ago . Look at the project long term.A little at a time that would surely have made a difference already.
@ if we started that project 20 years ago it’d still be 80 years and trillions of dollars away. Trillions that australia doesn’t have.
You seriously might as well ask why don’t we put the water on rockets and send them to the sun, same poor logistics and logic. Literally 10 year old planning.
Bradfield scheme would have averted this?? Condolences to the victims of the floods
The Premier
Spoke with truthfulness.
Leave before you are in a need vor rescuing 😮
Look after all your pets and stock .
Load up fast
Leave
What the hell does preposition assets mean!
politicians word for something else but means the same thing my dear old dad used to say dont vote for them it only encourages them useless bunch
Pre positioning assets means sending in emergency services personnel, equipment and resources to areas close to where it's predicted will be hit hard or cut off by the emergency/disaster. They will help warn the community and if needed will help the community evacuate. Crews will often stay in the area to help secure the area, help with rescues, clean up after the emergency/disaster, and help with starting the recovery process and allowing people to return, if possible, once the area has been made safe.
This strategy has been adopted as a result of previous emergencies or disasters and the planning that goes on behind the scenes at every emergency operation centre throughout Australia.
They have been able to control events like this since at least 1947
Please take all the necessary precautions, while we, the government, continue to ignore the cause of the problem. Yeah...ok!
Why would I show more.. I wouldn't, need first discussion
Its great being able to Comment on Australian news. It's very wet here, for sure. We are just trapped by the rain at Mission Beach. And its unwise to drive. Hope we dont flood again too.
For tge sins of the few
Many good people r suffering.
Everywhere is the natural disasters because of the few sinners.
Look at Usa
California
Houston
Florida and everywhere else!!!!!
U all good people stay strong and believe in Almighty
God of Jesus
Moses
Noah
Abraham
And Muhammad
Believe in HIM
Allah
Please stay safe .
Natural disasters are becoming more severe
Don’t forget your Animal 🦔🐄🐖🦮🐈🐏🫏
Yeah, mate - what are you going to do when the insurance companies won't cough up?!!!
What else likes to stick around..
Well at least it’s not global warming this time because Australia says that doesn’t exist
Lyrics
… Hey rainmaker come away
From that man you know
He's gonna take away your promised land
… Hey good lady
He just want what you got
You know he'll never stop
… Until he's taken the lot
Gonna stamp out your fire
He can change your desire
… Don't you know that he can make
You forget you're a man
Gonna stamp out your fire
… He can change your desire
Don't you know that he can make
You forget you're a man
You're a man
He's a man
… He's gonna step on you again
He's gonna step on you again
He's gonna step on you again
He's gonna step on you again
… Hey rainmaker he got golden plans
I tell you he make you
A stranger in your land
… Hey good lady
He got God on his side
He got a double tongue
… You never think that he lie
Gonna stamp out
Hey rainmaker come away
… From that man you know
He's gonna take away your promised land
Hey good lady
… He got God on his side
He got a double tongue
You never think that he lie

Why are you doing this? People are traumatised already. Shame! Don't need Trolls here, thanks,
Your point ?
@@angels0auras Medusa moved to QLD, she took her snakes with her... She's got booted out of my town, everywhere she goes trouble follows. Not my problem, you deal with the Jezebel.
Why is her face so swollen ?
So many snakes in houses at the moment, they are EVERYWHERE! 🐍 🐍 🐍 🐍
Thanks for adding to the anxiety...
😂😅😂
And crocodiles! Then 5heres the mosquito diseases😂
Snake rarely bite in a flood
And spiders, never seen so many!
Good luck out there, with people hacking in all different situations..
um this is flood season up here same thing with news readers it horrendous its terrible um its the norm up here u are the ppl that make a big drama about it it floods everything gets ruined we get up pick up the peices move on again it nature you der birds duh and next yr same thing will happen again duh 🙄😏
Passing the buck, that's what they're good at..🙄♻️👍
👣♻️
Mr Crisafulli seems spot on, a real "do-er". I can't imagine "others" (like Palaszczuk) doing anything good at all. She only wanted to "count cases." Totally useless.
Lol most are duel passport holders anyway
The Liberals first floods in qld, Alp in the past decades faces more flood and re-built the state, but here we all see the right wing media spending time in shows what Cristafulli is doing?
The media now denies to report the youth criminals in the state is still going on lol
The little man has arisen. He’s been hiding so far. Does he support his treasurer putting on hold the transition from coal to renewable energy
Have a listen ... flood record is over 15.2 meters in 1967. It's currently 14.8 m ... thank god 4 renewable energy 🙏 😅. Sure there's climate change but it's normal. The destruction looks worse because there's more buildings and people ... what was the population of Townsville in the 1960s? This is terrible news but we don't need political pov adding bias 👍😎
Dont buy land in flood zones! Councils know where it floods, they are responsible for underwater houses! These people that are affected are completely stupid! No sympathy whatsoever
😔
HELL YEAH DAVID GOOD ON it real actor doing real actor stuff on the TVVV aye tell me a vision buddy
