    Glad you are all OK
    Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I´m not so sure about the universe.

    Nice to hear you're good, a pity about the other communities. The pics look pretty bad. I feel sorry for the banana farmers, it seems that they were only just getting on their feet after larry.

    We have very limited access to the mobile network & our landline phone only works when we run the gen set.
    I have worked out that I can point the internet antenna at Atherton & get a little bit of signal.
    Our internet connection uses the NextG network & sometimes, all we can get is 2G.

    There is an unconfirmed report that somebody managed to poison themselves with gen set exhaust fumes.

    If you find a post of mine that is missing a pic that you'd like to see, let me know & I'll see if I can find a copy.

    Great to see you back online :). ABC News24 is currently reporting the generator CO-poisoning death as confirmed.

    Any news of Mt Isa? They were in for a pounding but nothing has been reported yet that I've heard.

    Cheers,
    Alex.

    No p*ssed idiots that went out in the storm and got decapitated by flying roofing iron? Sigh. Where's Darwin when you need him.

    Just seen an interview by Joe O'Brien of the ABC of someone called Shirley from Tully Heads - apparently had home completely obliterated by the storm surge. The lady was OK because she and her husband heeded the advice and got out early. No idea if the person being interviewed was wolffie or not, though.

    Hughe sigh of relief from here to all up in FNQ!! Very fortunate that the beast headed the way it did.

    Maybe people are also finally getting the message about safety!!

    I was talking to a friend from mt isa last night and he said that there were just strong winds and rain, mostly to the south of the town so that should mean that flooding shouldn't be a problem.

    What'll happen is things will swing the other way.

    In a few years time . . . ."Cat 5 - can't be that bad, no one died" and the cycle will start all over again
