It seems Brazil is faring worse than Australia.


Brazil government says 100,000 displaced by floods
Heavy flooding in Brazil, at least 270 dead, toll expected to rise, leaves thousands homeless, and submerges nearly 60 cities in four states.

I'm involved in two different fundraising events already to raise money for the flood appeal.  I've got a multi band show on 13 Feb with my blues band, and another on 5 March with the Stones tribute, with a bunch of other cool tribute bands on the bill - Zeppelin Live, Dirty Deeds (ACDC), No Secrets (The Angels), The Oz Rock Show.  All door takings go to the appeal. Great to be contributing a little to help people affected by this disaster.

Good for you!

Up here in Colorado, news about the events just sounds worse and worse.

Is this the time now to invest in stock of Australian construction firms? Their balance sheets should have a heyday in the next few years. And your unemployment will dip significantly.

Our unemployment rate is already very low at around 4.5%, so if the construction firms need more labour, we'll have to import migrant labour (again)

After being though countless floods, many tropical storms and a couple of hurricanes I will tell that whatever company will sell the most lumber, plywood and sheetrock would be the place I would invest in.  The major lumber mills and sheetrock manufacturers make out like bandits with every major catastrophe.  Get in early and you'll make a bundle ;)
