From what I saw on the news the authorities are having problems convincing locals that a cyclone is coming.
Some locals and tourists are poo pooing them because all is so pleasant and serene, can't possibly be a cyclone.

Well it is pretty windy and rainy here.
NO GOLF today:mad:
We have what appears to be just a storm, all the bad stuff is a few hours north.
I hope all is well further up the coast.

I can't tell what is happening too well by the radar. it's 9:07 am Monday and I can see it's now inland, but is it blowing itself out or is it going to go further inland? The visible satellite photo shows the eye clearly inland.
Yep, Have MIL alone up in Cairns and am a bit worried......

Just heard from MIL. She's shaken, but not too bad.
House - Roof and windows ok, though thought the roof would go it was vibrating that much
The pool is a garden soup.
All the fences have been flattened. There's barely a tree left standing in her and the neighbour's yards.
Cairns had 290 KM/hour winds.
Innisfail had 300km/hour winds and is flattened - how flattened I don't know.
Mick & Womble and anyone else - Are you ok?

Mick and Jane, Womble and Cliff,
Meg and I are thinking of you all and hoping for minimal damage.
On a positive note, there may be some timber going begging to be milled.

I reckon we'll be lucky to get any replies from FNQ's for a few days. Power will be down for a while. Our neighbour is just doing a reccie on our joint on the Tablelands
There was a young boy called Wyatt
Who was awfully quiet
And then one day
He faded away
Because he overused White

I just spoke to Mick on the phone and He and Jane are fine and they faired OK.
No damage so to speak, but there power is out and might be for a few days, Mick said that he has a generator, so he should be able to run some gear like fridges ect.
Very good news, I am sure we would all agree.
Cheers Ian

I thought Cliff was on the left side of the hill and less likely to be affected........I hope so anyway.

Cliff lives in Cairns during the week and not too far from the Tarzali Fish Farm on the weekends up in the Tablelands.
I just tried to call Cliff at the Tablelands farm and I receive a Telstra message informing me that all lines are busy in that area.- Wood Borer
