Bring it Yassi

[Stevo2]

Hey steveo2, I've got mates that offered for us to go to their place at mt lousia, but staying in our place in kirwan. As of yet just a bit of wind and rain, the dog is still outside, so it's not too bad.

Thanks rednut, i'll check back in here in the morning (12pm here) and see how you all fared! Best wishes!!

I live just south of Innisfail. Quite blowy at the moment but nowhere near what we're going to get. A few trees and plants broken so far. Fingers crossed we'll chat tomorrow.

I really hope every thing goes well for my Fellow herps in the next day or so..Ben

Best of luck everyone. I have family in Carins so I have my fingers crossed.

A two-story high gum tree just snapped clean off halfway down the trunk across the road from me. Probably one of the first of many tree casualties to come.

good luck to everyone up north. I already got my fingers crossed for my family in cairns, so i'll cross my toes for you guys. Be safe.

Makes me wonder if this is why there has been such a down-turn during the breeding season last year? As they say...animals seem to sense these things before it happens and this is probably why so many keepers had no success in breeding? It's amazing when you think about it.

All the best to you guys up there, everyone down here is glued to the tv and watching all the updates on the cyclone and hope you all make it out okay!

Take care

 

[shea_and_ruby]

Best of luck to you all - esp you crazy ones who are staying there riding it out!

 

[Elite_Reptiles]

Just got an update on TV...apparently it's made a turn even further North, this means Cairns may cop more of the brunt

 

[scorps]

Yeah seems to be, the next update will be any minute. . .

Tsubakai, a couple of trees down in my parents street, 12 in a mates street, and another mate that lives on the hill says the water is just about to top the breakwater wall at the marina, so the storm surge is well and truely on its way. The dog chooses to stay outside....

Where is Firepac with all his excellent information>

 

[Slytherin]

Good luck North Qld, our thoughts are with you!

My Auntie and family up near the floods were lucky to not bear the brunt of that, now hopefully the other Auntie in Cairns (Trinity Beach) will be lucky as well. She's got a strong brick house with metal beams that go from the roof down deep into the foundations. She, her family and pets are all in the bathroom, sounds 'cozy'.

Keep your heads down, look after your animals and stay safe!

Update: Apparently it's bad enough for the dog to find her way inside now. Pussy :lol:

 

[scorps]

[Fantazmic]

[silatman]

Good Luck to everyone up that way. The whole of Australia is thinking about you.

 

[scorps]

Hey guys,

Just an update, oh k so I just woke up, I live in south cairns and sleptr through the whole thing, alot of cairns lost power but we kept it the whole time. all of our trees are still up and yeah doesnt really look like much has happened here,

I am not speaking for the rest of FNQ just my street (although the people accross the road lost power)

Ben

 

[Fantazmic]

So has all the wind in your area stopped ?

I thought they said it wouldnt be fully passed over till lunchtime ?

Hubby and I didnt fall asleep till late last night watching the news and watching the weathermap in disbeleif

So far, it's very calm in Cairns, just the odd gust now and then. "Calm before the storm" is probably what it is.
