My little sister and her family are in Mt Low, Townsville.
Yesterday, when this thing was heading straight for them, they were packed and planning to leave.
Now, they are bunkered down, ready to ride it out.
Take care, everyone up that way. Thoughts are with you.

Their 'kids' are 18 & 20 (I still think of them as kids though )
This isn't the first cyclone they have been through, BUT its the biggest and the worst...
I spoke to her a little while ago, and they believe that where they are, and the type of house they have, they should come through ok.
Still, there a lot of variables, and I hope they (and everyone else) are ok.

Hope it blows over before it can do any real damage, but it doesn't look quite as likely now! Stay safe, another time to be in awe of mother nature though!

 

[scorps]

I feel sorry for all the wild animals, Isnt a bird any where to be seen,

keep yous updated

 

[J-A-X]

The birds probably evacuated a few days ago mother nature never ceases to amaze me.

and Shellfisch, i'm glad the 'Kids' are old enough to be able to fend for themselves. Best of luck to all in the firing line.

Cyclone Justin - cat 4 to 5 ( was a 5 then down downgraded but i consider her hit to be the 5- check out the pic

Cyclone Monika - Cat 5 ( same as yasi ) still known as the bigest cyclone to ever hit australia - 320km-per hour winds

Respect to the mother of all storms yasi -

I really feel for the Queenslanders who are now being hit with a second blow with Yasi !

Watching the news this morning the residents were saying that all the birds disappeared a couple of days ago..... there is just silence beyond the wind.

The surge is what the authorities are worried about more than the wind.

I definitely would NOT want to be there...... its gonna be a big one!

Good luck to all and try and stay safe.

 

[scorps]

Yeah Birds have been gone for a few days, seen about 15 snakes in an hour herping the other night, everythings on the move,

Winds have just picked up

For People that Havent seen this yet

 

[melluvssnakes]

Just watching Anna B telling people now that winds will reach 300km/hr... Good luck Cairns!
Scorps, hope your enclosures are tied down TIGHT lol

 

[mummabear]

The birds must have all come to my place Ben. They have been tweeting all morning. I was very surprised. Good luck everyone.

Our thoughts and best wishes are with you.
Fingers crossed that its not going to be as bad as predicted.
Stay Safe.
