Shit stan - and you guys call Australia the lucky country...

Everybody is still here, and that really is the main thing.

Maybe you guys should jump the ditch and dry your feet for a while.

Stan,

Sorry to hear this bad news; then again as pointed out, it could have been so much worse.....things are only things. I'm trying to become less materialistic (would struggle to let go of the VFR though!)

less materialistic is ok, but the one who dies with the most toys still wins!!

I've moved house 3 times in the last 3 years, and each time it gets easier as we clear out more junk you just don't need, i think there might be one or two more moves before we are done, so i should have it pretty well sorted by then

News here in the U.S. today (Jan 31) reporting that Cyclone Yasi is apporaching the Queensland state coast. Expected to hit the coast Wednesday as a violent Category 4 storm with wind gusts up to 155 mph (250 kph), dumping up to three feet (one meter) of rain.

I hope it passes far north, avoiding forum members and centers of population. But it looks big enough to take out half the state. Stay safe, mates.

Batten down the hatches boys!! You can have the -37 celcius we saw this morning, it might slow down the flooding.

Just never ends...that is one big mother of a cyclone!

And it looks to be heading North of here, but we are told to expect strong winds starting as early as tomorrow night

The forcast maps show it hitting between Townsville and Yapoon, but they are only forcasts, this shitty weather is playing havock with my training
