Cyclone:I'm shitting myself
|
Last night the news reported a category 5 cyclone is heading for the North Queensland coast. (the floods were in the South). The scale doesn't go any higher. That's like Tracy,which obliterated the City of Darwin in 1974.
My girlfriend is in Townsville, right in the centre of the cyclone's path. I'm shitting myself. 
Good luck?

Last month a part of Southern Queensland the size of France was under water,in the worst recorded floods in the State's history. The north was fine. A few minutes ago I received a PM from a friend on another forum who lives in north Queensland. Cyclone Yasi has been downgraded to a category 4 and is expected to miss Townsville if it doesn't change direction. Me? I'm currently in what my family describes as 'Basil mode'* (early stage) *as in Basil Fawlty ![[Image: australia+map.jpg]](https://images.weserv.nl/?url=2.bp.blogspot.com%2F_Kh0CZuWd0T8%2FSecVVm7mchI%2FAAAAAAAACUc%2FXWyGYWwebX0%2Fs400%2Faustralia%2Bmap.jpg) Why yes, I'll be taking a vacation there... 
Good luck padraic....for the GF I mean.

The cyclone will reach the coast at about 10pm Wednesday ,with an expected 4 hour window.The centre is expected to be near Cairns a bit further north. Townsville is still expecting a category 2 cyclone which means she should be OK. However,she was sent home from work until Friday at the earliest.

We also have the only venomous mammal in the world too. Plus there's blue ringed octupi, tiny little jellyfish that you can't see in the water but will kill you, a whole host of venomous and posionous spiders, insects and other arthopods.
