Not in Australia, and nothing near the disaster the Australians have been facing, but we have had flooding here too. As I traveled around the region, fields are under water. The problem is the ground is still frozen, the snow has melted and it travels on the surface to the ditches and rivers with little resistance. With the mass of snow melt and rains we have had, the rivers are overflowing their banks.
Update: The following photos were taken Monday after the water level had dropped more than a meter. Sand is strewn over the banks and int the surrounding landscape. The base of the trees, usually above the waterline are still submerged.
