That's why people were warned to bunker down and take every possible precaution, they did and they come out intact.....property can be replaced although waiting will be annoying to say the least. You live in a cyclone area, you expect cyclone damage from time to time.

lol  ... ..  Even when this 'said' category 5 cataclysmic storm cell (swirly cloud)  the size of America was 20 minutes away from crossing the shore, the channel 7 reporters hair was hardly blowing in the breeze...they must use fantastic hair lacquer that's all I can say.


I found this odd...  I can tell you now, if chan 7 had have known it was going to be genuinely 'denser'  more ferocious than Tracy, they would have been reporting this story from another state.

What a gas....20  minutes away from the shore, with an eye 500k wide, and barely a breeze?

This in itself should have alerted them to the fact that it wasn't your more feared 'Tracy' type cyclone.

You are right, the gist I got from the locals they were interviewing this morning (they were bloody door knocking)...lol.. was they more or less scoffed at the thing... you had your drama queens, but most were quite shocked at how big it WAS-NOT, one woman made a point of saying she went to bed after it started, so I don't think the locals who have lived through plenty of 'denser' cyclones  were entirely convinced, this and are probably wishing channel 7 would just piss off and let them have a sleep-in after their trumped up BS.

I tell you what, If I were one of the locals, I would bust into a theatrical gasp of despair, and blubber "I knew it was bad, when I saw a blade of grass fly past the window."... naaa, I couldn't even be bothered entertaining them.
Now, ..Let's just hope there's no more Cairns style Storm chasing incidents, not unlike Kochies Beaconsfield-style ambulance chasing incident quite a few years back now also.

We are children of the corn under this government.

We will walk in unison in our pressed little red studded uniforms, mainstream and assimilate into our  demographically gov-defined criteria, humbly and obediently accept our voluntary enslavement, and mandatory counselling (brain-washing)  sessions and be rewarded with disaster relief for a detached door knob after a dust storm,  and become one of many many Labors communist Von Trapp children that will bring us back to Doe, a deer, a female deer....



Don't dare put a foot out of place, don't dare be different, or think outside the square...  you think/write, what they want you to think and write.

Or else!

And you know what?

The opposition isn't much better!

  We need an alternative.

Having said that, there appears to be no loss of life.

And for that alone .. I'm sure we're all thankful and relieved.

<<Ahem .. some of us have been praying for a miracle since yesterday .. remember?>>
