This week's newsletter was a race against the tide as flood waters headed towards Brisbane, where Forkliftaction.com has its head office. After years of drought, the south-east corner of Queensland, in eastern Australia, is now facing a wall of water that has already covered an area the size of Texas in the US or France and Germany combined. As we were preparing the newsletter, parts of the city were no-go areas and the downtown area was effectively shut. We were also waiting for the inevitable power cuts that accompany flooding. So this week's offering may be a bit "thinner" than usual, but we were determined that the show must go on, regardless. Hopefully, next week will be calmer!
