Australia floods: Thousands evacuate homes as Sydney hit by torrential rains

Tens of thousands of Sydney residents fled their homes as flood warnings stretched across Australia's east coast on Tuesday, with torrential rains pummelling the country's largest city and flooding several big suburbs.
Roads once used for vehicles were inundated with floodwater, as locals took to them with jet skis, paddleboards and boats, as buildings and vehicles stood submerged in floodwater.
Emergency services estimate around 60,000 people in New South Wales face evacuation orders and urged people to follow them.
"A tough 24 hours or even 48 hours ahead," bureau of meteorology forecaster Dean Narramore said, forecasting up to 120 mm of rains across Sydney over the next 24 hours.

    Core of my heart, my country! Land of the Rainbow Gold, For flood and fire and famine, She pays us back threefold - Over the thirsty paddocks, Watch, after many days, The filmy veil of greenness That thickens as we gaze.

    Why your homeland does not make the salt water of sea sweet in so sweetening plants and works. After that you line the sweet water in the desert, the same what South Africa makes. You know, it exists also sweet water rivers under the sea surface are also there in Australia , you can also tap and pipe the sweet water of this rivers in dessert. Even the flood water from monsoon that came to you this month, you can pump and build lakes close to coastal sites all over the country where people live , and make agriculture and farm with it. Even in case of catastrophic forest fire, you can use this water. Also for houses consumption, you can use this water again. Ingenious idea or not?

    The problem with this country is it's only livable to cities in small parts. So we have 5 major cities in the country in areas with sufficient rainfall. The problem is we get most of that rain in a very short period. Only 1 of those 5 cities is drier than London on average but London gets their rain spread out through drizzle throughout the year. When it rains in Australia it doesn't muck around. It really rains. Some places in NSW which is the state Sydney is in saw rainfall totals rarely ever seen outside the tropics and none of NSW is tropical.

There is an international project called the Creation Society, you can find it on the Internet or I can give you a link. I know one thing - this is our last chance for survival, as it concerns the entire planet.
