good luck guys up north
not sure what we can do to help but don't hesitate to ask if there is
i understand people are going to have power cut off by authorities in some places up north.
so take care guys and girls.!!!
Spoke to Firebob this arvy, he and his family were hunkered down in the fire station and the winds were already starting.
Hearts go out to the northern crew
my sister in law is alone on a farm near Mareeba, she is bunkered down in the bathroom, food, water and long wait for it to come and pass, its going to be a long night for my family. (and all others affected)
My niece and nephew are up there with their father, my sister is beside herself with worry. I just hope by some miracle the full extent of the winds somehow follows a path that spares as many as possible.
Hang in there and keep as safe as you can, all of Australia is holding their breath for you.
All good, sheets of iron off the shed thats it, power, water phone all good, she sat in the bathroom wearing a motorcycle helmet! Said the noise was terrible.
Great to hear it wasn't as damaging as it could have been. The kids in Townsvillle had an exciting night but no damage to the house they were in. They said the powerpoles were bending over so the wind was certainly strong, the brother in law estimated 200km/h.
The aussie press, especially that dickhead Kochie need their asses kicked, they were hoping for a disaster, this morning they would have loved nothing more than devastation, so now they have to blow their chests up and dramatise the bejeseez out of it. Meanwhile, some Aussie kids in Afghanistan were killed I think, I never got to see the story because Grant Denyer was reporting about a tree across the road, c'mon!
jeez i saw some dumb comments by the media over the last 24 hours.
news.com.au referred to 50 m/s as 50 miles/second
channel 10 reported the cyclone moving at 300km/hr
abc said, now from the floods to egypt during their news coverage
lol ahhh the aussie press!
found the story 22yo soldier first tour of duty killed by roadside bomb, now that is big news. :( Condolences to his family.
