Title: Cyclone Yasi
Post by: TMKIWI on February 01, 2011, 04:00:44 PM: For those that don't know Aussie is about to be hit by a category 5 Cyclone/Hurricane tonight.
It's going to hit Cairn's in Queensland (lovely place ) and it dosn't sound very good.
2.5m storm surge & 300kmh winds.

Good luck to all our Aussie brother's on here.
Evo, you in brisbane ?

Post by: msmola2002 on February 02, 2011, 07:35:35 PM: My uncle lives in townsville, not sure how bad they copped it. got an email from my mum.
They apparently evacuated their house and went to his son's place - my mum got a txt back before the storm hit, they were ok then.

The big worry for them is the tide. He lives in a place called Pallarenda, about 100 yards from the water. Magnetic island is jsut offshore, and apparently it was hit pretty hard.

And to top it off, their pet bird was eaten by a snake looking for shelter.

So still waiting on an update on how they are. The rest of my family is just north of sydney in newcastle, the temps there at the mo are 95-105. And here I am in upstate NY getting blizzarded on.

crazy world.
