La Nina Strikes Again

Raw Story, via nc links:

Major flooding hit parts of Australia’s east on Friday, stranding thousands of residents, prompting a military airlift and leaving some communities only accessible by helicopter. The deluge, which has sparked dozens of rescues and left about 7,275 people isolated in various parts of New South Wales state has also impacted Queensland to the north where homes have reportedly been inundated.
“From the air it looks like an inland sea,” New South Wales Premier Barry O’Farrell said after visiting the region.

That sucks.  Last year Queensland got crushed by La Nina driven flooding.  I guess this doesn't lessen my fears of another extremely wet spring.
