Disaster, What Disaster?

I'm puzzled and so is everyone else. I've just had a drive around town and watched the local news and can find no trace of disaster at all. Yes, more than 200 trees came down, the jetty is bent and that lake is still in the back yard (the resident frogs are ecstatic), but, apart from that, the place just looks damp and sprinkled with foliage that used to be on trees and is now lying in the road. What flooding there was, disappeared as quickly as it came. I think we're all right, really.

So quite why the state government is trying to throw all this money at us I'm not sure but it does mean we'll get our jetty straightened.
