> A woman takes a selfie as she walks along flooded Edmondstone Street in the suburb of Newmarket.

Bloody hell, lots would see that and think "only in America", but that photo was taken a couple of suburbs over from where I am.

@vk4msl @maniajack @dajb
How do we know she's taking a selfie?

The one with her looking at her phone makes her seem self-absorbed, so much so she doesn't know what's going on.

But in the one where she's taking a photo of the problem, maybe she's a citizen journalist getting the word out.

Let's not stereotype just because she's a young woman.

@negative12dollarbill @maniajack @dajb

Why deliberately put yourself in danger wading into flood water? You'll have to ask The Guardian why she's "taking a selfie" in their opinion.

@dajb

If only she were in a flooded car in line to get gas at a flooded gas station, then it'd be perfect.

@dajb ja, aber ich würde ebenfalls Musik hören wollen, wenn ich gerade schon in der dystopische Hölle sitze?!

@dajb See? It's not so bad! We can afford a few more degrees before we all drown (or burn).
