I am glad that I am on holidays , down south at the moment, but a bit aprehensive about the cyclone. my house is right in the path, at the moment,but these things are very unpredictable.The house and the charter boat are insured, and I did what I could before leaving.Thanks to Pete and Gail at Scarborough for their hospitality.Will be keeping an eye to Yasi.
Went thru cyclone Larry, now looks like will be hit by Yasi, hope to god its not going to be as bad as everyone is predicting.. I have today off so have been putting last minute things away as done alot of cleanup over the weekend, getting very nervous now :(
Went to that link. It's very frightening. My thoughts and prayers go out to all who live there. Headn home I would just pack and leave before it's too late. Stay safe.
I am lucky, because I am 1200 miles away on Stradbroke is., but I am worried about my house and boat, both insured.I think we will get a lot of wind on Maggie is.,but hopefully it will cross north of Cardwell. Could be Larry all over. Look at the size of this thing! Its 500 klms across!The predicted storm surge is 7m! I am worried , but what could I do if I was there? I put everything away before I went to Rocky for the cleanup.Tommorrow at this time we should have a better idea.Bugga!

hi mate, it's a big bugga alright, don't know how it will affect us here in the bundy district as yet, they are saying down as far as yeppoon will be bad but i reckon it will get windy here to. got a son in mackay and he is battoned down. the met mob are saying it will go a long way inland before becoming a rain depression, god help them up there.
Was good to see not a much trouble as they thought it would be ..but in saying that the people that have lost their homes , crops and their livelyhoods would say YASI was and still is trouble ..let hope Q.L.D can have a break now

So good to hear that everyone is safe, no fatalities nor serious injury at this stage. Hope it stays that way. Have been watching TV all day. Hard to believe the devastation. The whole last month has been unbelievable with the weather right around Aus. Now Vic is to get 3 days of heavy rain and winds, they say the edge of the cyclone but surely it can't spread this far. We still have the floods from the last one and no where for any more water to go.
Just hoping it stays the other side of Swan Hill and doesn't flow back this way. It can back up if too much flow in the Murray then we all suffer all the way back past here.
I wouldn't mind the rain though, hoping it will break this sweltering heat and humidity. I've suffered badly today and would rather not have another one like it. Just had a bowl of steamed veges for tea as really didn't feel like eating anything else.
