Good luck through the storm to any of you affected

Getting updates online from the QPS (QLD Police Service). 9.5m waves, flooding, 61,000 homes without power. That's in the past 7 minutes. More to come. Must be pretty scary being in that weather to have your power cut.

edit: apparently the waves are the biggest since records began. That's insane!

It sounds like something from a movie. Is this all happening now, is it your night time?

Well done in the cricket btw, thought we would of had you with the score we made. Great game. (not that I watched any of it, but seen the cards)

It's almost 10pm here. The cyclone is about 1,500km north of where I live in Brisbane so we're not affected but after the floods you can't but help feel for those up north. I'd be pretty freaked out if I were up there right now, it sounds intense beyond anything I've seen or experienced.

And yeah, that was an epic win. I saw the score when we were on 257 and thought it was a long shot. Good to see Clarke finally finding some form again.

Its bad enough having to go through that storm during day light, but imagine having to do it at night, in some cases with no electric/lights etc.

Cant even begin to imagine how it must feel to be in it, certanly as a youngster, or even as a parent. Bad bad times

Yeah it must be terrifying. Where would you go? How could you get there? What do you do in the meantime? Will your house still be there in an hour's time? So many unanswered questions must be buzzing around the minds of those caught up in this right now.

I was just reading on yahoo some expert saying, find a safe room, take water, food and a radio with you. Your roof might get lifted clean off, if so, stay where you are as even with no roof thats still safer than outside. Fucking hell!! We've never had to hear anything like that before.

Makes you wonder if Nostrildamus was right eh? The worlds weather been fucked right up recently. I noticed last summer when I didnt have a single game of cricket rained off, lol, thats never happened before.

I texted both of them to stay safe, my sister replied with thanks, I will.

Michael (her boyfriend) replied with borderlands multiplayer?

Clearly being in the army made him immune to such trivial things as "weather".
