Re: Aussie cyclone.
Good luck! I have been through too many of those buggers in the past few years with Rita and Ike! As soon as you get power and internet back up, shoot us a post and stay safe!

Re: Aussie cyclone.
It looks like this could become a Category 5 storm and more flooding of course ... evacuation is the only sensible thing to do. Good Luck and Run!

Re: Aussie cyclone.
GET THE "H---" OUT OF THERE UNTIL ITS OVER. I live on Texas coast and have been through 5 bad hurricanes so far and can tell you its no fun? I have had up to 125 MPH ( Dont know how that relates to your measurments ) that amounts to catgory 4?? and been very lucky to only have minor damage because I have home and belongings well protected.
Contact us when you can as we will be worried? |

Re: Aussie cyclone.
Aussiecart,lives in yeppon,they are an hour behind us ,as they don't use
daylight savings,as I type it is 1030am in cyclone area and that is wednesday overhere,the main force will hit at 10pm now it is upgraded force 5,the winds will be 20mph stronger than cyclone tracy which wiped out Darwin years ago.this country of ours is unreal,north east just finished floods and this cyclone is going to dump another 24inches in 24hours,down south in victoria had floods two months ago ,are now being devastated with bushfires,west coast are being flooded at present.to top it all off the bloody Queen wants to make a visit. p.s that's a great year "42" Last edited by down under; 02-01-2011 at 07:44 PM..

The last reading was 300kph,in your jargon,180 mph,its the worst in over a century.My brother has gone off air last word was in three hours time before cyclone hits the winds on the coast will be 170mph,it will be hitting at 9.30pm which is king tide time and the highest flood level ever record in your area will be 20 ft above,the eye is 21miles wide. will let U guys know when we get word. |
