Yes, I heard about the flood in Australia a couple of days ago. I'm still surprised of how much of the water flipped cars and destroyed massive houses like they were nothing. I've never suffered from a natural disaster but I have been in a situation where there was a tornado close to my house. I think the worst part of being a victim is the fear of losing one of your family members.
I was not aware there was a flood in Australia. This flood was crazy and it’s sad that the father was not found. I haven't actually been physically involved in a natural disaster but I have witnessed a few of them. Isabelle was the worst thing I have been through. The worst part of being a flood victim is that you would lose your home and belongings.
I wasn't aware of the flood in Australia. This is very sad because I want to go to Australia very badly. The family left on the car with the little boy is very sad because they cannot find the father nor the car after the helicopter picked up the mother and child. I have never really suffered from a natural disaster. The power goes out but that is the only thing that ever happens around here. The worst part of being a flood victim is that all the meaningful things are gone especially pictures of family members.

I hadn’t herd about the flood in Australia. I think it’s sad that they lost the dad. I’ve been through some small earthquakes and a hurricane. I think the worst part about being a flood victim would be drowning because it would probably be one of the worst ways to die. Other then that the fact that all of your stuff would be ruined is another one of the worst parts of being a flood victim.
I was not aware of the flood in Australia. I was shocked to see the flood and the river has not crested yet. I need some serious help. I remember when Hurricane Isabel came. It did not do much damage but had no electricity. I do not know what would be the worst part of being in a flood until I am in it.
I had no idea that there was a flood in Australia; this is the first time I have heard of it. I think that hurricane Isabell is the only thing that is remotely close to a natural disaster that I have gone through. Also when I lived in Texas there was tropical storm Alice, she flooded our house a little bit. I have never suffered through a major natural disaster. The worst part of a flood I think is that afterwards you have to replace everything that was damaged, especially if you don’t have flood insurance.
I think this is really sad. I don't know if they put out an evacuation or not, but if they did I don't understand why some people would still stay. I hope the man and his family are safe now as well as all the other families out there.
No, I was not aware of the flood in Australia. I was surprised to see the family stranded on top of their car. I have not been majorly affected by a natural disaster. Besides from hurricanes and one tornado, Virginia does not get many major natural disasters. For me the worst part of being a flood victim would be the helplessness.
I had heard about it but, I hadn’t seen many videos about it. It’s very saddening to see the destruction of so many people’s homes. I have never really “suffered” from a natural disaster but, I have had my driveway have a six foot ditch carved in it by hurricane “Floyd”. The worst part of a flood would know that your house would be kind of ruined.
No, i was not aware of the flood in Australia. My reaction to this vidoe was that i was shocked because so many homes were ruined and peoples lives were ruined. No, I have not ever suffered from a natural disaster. I think the worste part of being a flood victim is not having a warm shelter.

Yeah I was aware of the Australian flooding. It’s horrible. It really sucks to hear that the father didn’t make it and all those people lost their homes. My family has suffered a natural disaster. Our home was about 10 ft away from the rising Blackwater River during Floyd. I think being stuck on your roof during a flood would be the worst part. With the sun beating down on you it would just be unbearable.
I did not know about the flood in Australia. I have no reaction to this video. I just finished an SOL so my brain is not working properly. I do feel sorry the guy that got lost in the flood. I have suffered from two hurricanes. I think the worst part of being a flood victim is losing everything you have.
I was aware of the floods happening in Australia. Until now I hadn’t seen any pictures or videos of the flooding. It’s pretty crazy like where does all that water come from? I was in a hurricane once with 72 mile hour winds it wasn’t that bad just windy. I think the worst part of being a flood victim would be the damage of your house, loss of pets, and maybe even death.
I wasn't aware of the flood in Australia. I feel bad for the family of the man that is missing. The hurricane that took place a couple of years back was the worst natural disaster I’ve suffered. The worst part of being a flood victim to me would be all of the dirty water. If your house were to get flooded it wouldn't be clean any more. I can't take all of the bacteria and dirt that would be in my house.
I had heard about the flooding in Australia. This is kinda scary I think cause I know how it feels. I have been throught this before. When I lived in Poquoson it flooded and we had three feet of water in our house. There were fish jumping and alot was going on. The worst part of it I would think is drowning.
Yes am aware of the flood in Australia. That it was stupid and I never want to see it again. No I have not suffered from a natural disater. That you have no home to go back to.
I am aware of the floods. I haven't really suffered personally. I've been through two hurricanes while living in Virginia Beach. I've also been through two nor'easters and a couple of blizzards. I think the worst thing would be being stuck on high ground and not being able to go anywhere.
Yes I am aware of the flood in Australia.I was shocked at how bad the flood has gotten.I mean all the man and his family were trying to do was get across the road.Then the car gets sweep into the flood water.It is just shocking how powerful the flood is.Yes I have suffered a natural disaster.I have survived 2 hurricanes.I think the worst part of being a flood victim wood be not being able to bathe yet there is plenty of water around.I mean having all that water around you and not being able to bathe must be annoying.The water is there yet a person can not use it to get clean.
I did hear about the flood in Australia. I feel really sorry for the flood victims and their families. I hope that we don’t get any floods in Virginia. I was in New Orleans during Katrina. I cant believe that my dogs died in the hurricane.
I heard about the flood in Australia from my mom. This story is so sad because now the dad is missing. The only natural disaster I have lived through are hurricanes. I was on the outskirts of the storm in Suffolk, but I never saw the tornado. I think the worst part of being a flood victim would be watching your house, cars, and possessions float away.
I had no idea that there was a flood in Austrailia. This video is so sad. I feel so sorry for the little boy and I hope that his dad is still alive. The worst natural disaster I've ever experienced was a hurricane. The worst part of being a flood victim is no having anywhere that's actually save. Water goes everywhere and nothing can contain it. It's a scary experience to see your car floating off into the water. If it does that to a car, imagine what can happen to you.
I was not aware of the flood in Australia. That's pretty sad because I can’t even imagine going through that. I have never suffered from a natural disaster that was as bad as what Australia is going through. I just couldn't even picture being on the top of my car floating around in the water. That's scary especially since they can't find the father.
I had no idea there was a flood in Australia. I just couldn't believe how much got destroyed. Those people missing from the flood is so sad. I have been through a natural disaster before. It was that huge flood in Franklin. Our house didn't get flooded, and we didn't get stuck in the water. The worst part about being a flood victim would be losing a family member who tried to save one of us.
No I wasn't aware of the flood in Australia. My reaction to this video was that it devastated me. I would think the worst part of being a flood victim would be stranded in the waters. I wish I could reach out to these victims and help them.
No I wasn't aware of the flood in Australia. I thought the video was very shocking. It would be so scary to be in something like that. I've only been in a couple of tornados. None of them were to bad. It would be scary to be in a flood because some of them come out of no where.
Sadly I didn't know about this! I would feel so bad if that was me and my family. I wouldn't even know what to do if that had happen. I haven't suffered from a natural disaster before and I am glad. The worst part of being a flood victim would be if one of my family members get lost in the water and we can't find them. Another way would be if I would fall in the water and die! All of that would just be so scary.
I found out that there was a flood in Australia earlier in the week. I could only imagine what these people went through and still are during this devastating flood. I've never suffered from a natural disaster and never wish too. My family is important to me and I don't wish anything bad to happen to them or my friends as well. And I think the worst part about being a flood victim is losing family,friends, and even needs and shelter like food and your house.
