It Just Gets Better!!!

Journal Entry: Sun Jan 30, 2011, 4:06 AM
Cop a load of this:

We have two cyclones coming. One will cross the coast tonight, and then another more massive one later.  Not that we've had a hard time here in Queensland or anything... life just keeps getting better.

Umm... jeez. A few of my personal business plans are going up in gusts of wind.  Not to worry.  Let's hope for no more deaths.  I'd be happy with that.  Stay out of the water and bunker down people!

where are you now?? I thought you were SEQ. I might be really out of the loop. I'm NQ. A little south of Cardwell etc. Yasi was... fun. First cyclone I have ever been scared in. But it was good. Anyone under 40 in my city doesn't really know what a bad cyclone is like. It means we've had a drill now.

You're right. I am SEQ. I just organise a heap of disaster recovery stuff.

If you were just south of Cardwell, then you had every damn right to be afraid! I'm glad you are okay mate. Keep an eye out for the dark blue shirts with big white "Community Recovery." That's my guys/gals.

I'm actually in Tville :) It wasn't too bad here. I mean, a lot of trees down, power out for days, water plant down for a day or two, but no significant structural damage. The only deaths (unreported) were from people locking themselves in unventilated rooms with generators. The wind was pretty epic though and the house I live in now is not the same sturdy besser block that my parents' place is that I used to live in, haha.

(one death was reported in Ingham but there were more, even in Tville, from the same cause - all unreported though because it's generally impossible to tell if it's suicide or not and suicides are generally not supposed to be reported).

Keeping an eye on Yasi and thinking of my Aussie friends in Queensland... For the next several days substitute "safe" for the other "s" word in your screen name...

You mean I should stay stupid? We did okay - compared to New Orleans.

Smiles, as long as you were "4SafeDuck" for a few days... I was glad to see Yasi slowed down pretty quickly.

Damn stupid cyclone. It swerved more than slowed down. Thank God! and, at the very last second.
