Flood appeal for the devastated Logan area.
Torrential rain hit Logan on the afternoon of 15th December 2010.
Victims were seen wandering around aimlessly, flannies soaked,
woollen trackies sagging, muttering 'Faaackinell'.
Flood waters devastated the area causing approximately $30 worth of
damage, $10 of that at Loganholme alone.
Three areas of historic burnt out cars were disturbed. Many locals
were woken well before their Centrelink cheques arrived.
The Logan West Leader reported that hundreds of residents were confused
and bewildered and were still trying to come to terms with the fact that
something interesting had happened in Logan.
One resident - Tracy Maree Sharon Britney Madonna Smith, a
15-year-old Mother of 5 said 'It was such a shock, my little
daughter Chardonnay-Mercedes came running in to my bedroom crying.
My youngest two
Joachim and River slept through it all.'
Apparently, looting, muggings and car crime were unaffected and
carried on as normal with a 95.7 % saturation rate .
The Australian Red Cross has so far managed to ship 4,000 crates of
Bacardi-Breezers to the area to help the stricken locals
particularly those at Woodridge.
Rescue workers are still searching through the rubble and have found
large quantities of personal belongings, including Health Care
Cards, Jewellery from Kmart and Bone China from Big W.
HOW CAN YOU HELP?
This appeal is to raise money for food and clothing parcels for
those unfortunate enough to be caught up in this disaster.
Clothing is most sought after - items most needed include:
flannelette Shirts, tight blue jeans or spandex, singlets (blue &
white) white sport
socks, Ugg boots and any other items usually sold in Priceline or
The Reject Shop.
Food parcels may be harder to come by, but are needed all the same.
Required foodstuffs urgently needed include: Microwave meals, Baked
Beans, Ice cream, Chips, Fizzy drinks.
Donations of $15.00 will be taken to buy a packet of winny blue.
PS: This is satire. kj69 if you are upset perhaps I can shout you a pack of smokes, help calm the nerves? Don't even need to be winny blues I'll shout some good stuff or even some White Ox and some rollies. Or is family safe comedy not allowed on AJOR?
PPS: no hard feelings, just ribbing.
