    Sounds good Cliff. Looks like you are not going to have to protect anything from the chainsaw weilding SES this time, or was that RFB.

About to head out in our fire appliance with a paramedic mate to see if help is needed.

    Mick, great to hear you are also ok, I hope all of our FNQ forumites fare equally as well!

    We still don't have power, I had to start the gen set & go for a walk around & answer several phone calls & texts, took a while.

    FAQn firies, it wasn't SES or RFB, it was a city crew from down south, no, we don't have to call them in but I'll be watching out for them just in case.

    Tully, Mission Beach & Tully Heads have copped it pretty bad.

    They can't get in to Mission Beach yet.

    Problems with moving around because of power lines & high tide as well as trees on the road.

    Seems like that storm in a teacup has passed, whatever will the Media Morons find to scare people about next? Perhaps a Panda will escape from the Adelaide zoo and create pandemonium for Kochie to wail about?

    I am very pleased that noone has been hurt and that there is no major damage. I knew Cliff would be fine because that man is indestructible.

    Great news Cliff and Journeyman Mick that you have survived Yasi relatively unscathed.

    Back online... no damage actually less rubbish around than after Larry. Still was a bit scarry, didn't need prunes with the cornflakes though.

    Good to hear everyone faired well.

    I spoke to my Mum at Cardwell at about 6am this morning, they were doing OK, they got a lot of water that forced its way into the house through any little crack or orifice, most 70 year old Qld'ers have got a few of those I'm sure. Only 2 rooms in the house stayed dry.
    Apparently at some stage water started coming through the ceiling and leaking onto my Fathers bed where he was sleeping, so he just moved the bed to one side and went back to sleep.

    It was still too windy at 6am for them to go outside, but they must be out and about now, as I cant raise them on the phone.

    Mission beach, Tully, Tull Heads, Hull Heads, & Cardwell are all in a bit of a mess, wait til the pictures finally get out.

    Like this one here at Port Hinchinbrook, from @cycloneupdate via the ABC News24 Twitter feed #TCYasi and TwitPic.

    Yasi's tail looks a bit worrying, too - possibly very wet.

    Alex.

    Note, while I tried to provide the image here directly, it looks as though the actual link is dynamic, so if it disappears, that's why. No doubt to prevent someone like me re-posting it. I've removed the image URI. The link at the top should be OK, though. And the boats do look just like cast-aside toys.

    Cliff, I have been worrying for Wolfie she lives right on the ocean front, hope she moved out of harms way.
