In New South Wales there has been the worst floods for many,many years. Many are uninsured and have lost absolutely everything. It is absolutely devastating for the people up there and several have died. The scale of it blows your mind. If anything remotely like that happened in Europe it would be headline news but here we just muddle through it. I am not affected, personally, in fact there is a bad drought here. A land of stark contrasts.

I think that the truth of it is that these weather events which were so unusual, are no longer so. Reading and hearing about them is not so startling as it was so we let it pass by more often.

Whitewavemark2 is correct though, unfortunately floods happen frequently in different parts of the world, and they have become so commonplace they often don’t warrant a mention. This one was in Argentina only two months ago.

I dot think that WWM approved of "letting it pass by", nanna, more what Casdon said.
