FLOODS, or any disaster, are the times we see some remarkable feats of humanity.
Whether it be kindness such as the people who offered showers and toilets to those trapped and living in their car, to the volunteers who give of their time for moments like these.
SES workers are not paid. They train so they are prepared for disaster, from times last year when hail took out rooves in some parts of Logan, to the current flooding disaster which will likely see a need for cleaning up for weeks.
They saw a colleague in another part of the state lose their life. Yet, they continue to push through to do their best to help others in times of need.
There were stories of those whose families were at home battling flood conditions of their own while their loved one was ensuring members of the community were safe.
We see neighbours kicking in to help with sand bags, or simply sweep away the muck which has been generated by excess water.
We so often dwell on the nasty members of society who choose to make life miserable for others. It’s wonderful to be able to look at the selfless members of our community who are quick to stand up to support their neighbours and their community.
Be proud, Logan. Your extraordinary humanity comes to the fore during times of adversity.
