:lol:

Meanwhile, in Victoria we have mild flooding in the central areas, we've already had out heat wave (tad over 40 on day one and 30s yesteraday. Cool change came in yesterady arvo). We're cool.

Somehow, I doubt this one will have a Hello Kitty avatar.


I'm expecting more heat within a week or so . Fortnight, tops.

Dug out a laptop, as Yasi is not hitting till Ten, the press is saying it will be worse than Tracy, but then again, it is the press

better hope your healing skill is good

jokes aside, good luck there man.
[censored] hasnt been good for you aussies lately

I'll say , our economy goes bye bye

maby now our currency can catch up

*Waits for earthquakes to break NZ*

:whistling:

haha...wont have to wait long..whole dam country is a fault line

I saw that - HOLY MOLY, that storm is huge! We're currently being hammered by one of the biggest blizzards in decades ourselves - and hoping our power holds.

Buckle down and stay safe JagarTharn. I'll be thinking of you and my fellow Queenslander's in the path of this monster. As someone else said, make sure you post to let us know you came through OK when the worst is over.

And people ask me why I don't like Summer time.

In all seriousness though I wish all of my Northerly chums good luck

Phew, just got out of Queensland this morning

Currently at my brother's house because the power's still out at our's, luckily we got through the cyclone without any damage, but in the thunderstorms afterwards we got hit by lightning twice, hopefully all our stuff didn't get fried.

Its now http://www.bom.gov.au/cgi-bin/wrap_fwo.pl?IDD20040.txt (have a look at the Bureau of Meteorology's http://www.bom.gov.au/products/national_radar_sat.loop.shtml). Fortunately it's no longer tropical, unfortunately its causing http://www.theage.com.au/victoria/wild-weather-wreaks-havoc-on-victoria-20110205-1ah7p.html in Victoria. Given that we already got a goddam inland sea in the last round of flooding, this batch* of rain is not going to help matters .

*Originally misspelled that as "bath of rain"... which probably fits at least as well .

[censored] Mother Nature, back off Australia a little will you?

Anyone else find it amazing that no one (or very few) have been actually killed by it? Wasn't Katrina also a Cat 5? I know there might be some other variables into the mix, but still ironic.

Also, I wish the OP best of luck. :thumbsup:

Its sad to see how Queens;and hasn't even recovered from the floods and now this!? Blasphemy! Its not nice living here at the moment; the heat, the floods, the cyclone, the storm,....All at the same time.

Cairns got through okay, but my parents house in Tully was [censored], so I just got back from helping them out

I heard there was another cyclone. Is everyone ok at least?
