Happened yesterday... 75 confirmed dead, lots more to come sadly. Damage to the historic buildings will change the city forever. No longer the most English City out of England.

Yeah the last few months have been unreal for natural disasters down under. The flooding in Aussie was so scary to watch. We still dont have water on, so thats the worry at the moment... sink holes swallowing cars too

In that video, my great Aunt grew up in that first building on the hills. Such a shame to see it in that state.
