I'm glad the cyclones passed through without loss of life, but the damage is hard for those affected.

It will be a long time for that community to get back to normal.<br />Distraction is key while waiting to see how the event unfolds.

I enjoy including it in my tours, and ask the visitors who likes watching storms. People are divided on this: some (like me) like to watch the skies in action, other hate storms and hide away! <br />A sunny Sunday today, and the flood has dropped below road level. Lots of workmen are down there cleaning up the debris. I will check it out on my walk in a couple of hours. And yes, the temp did drop to maximums of about 23 for three days. Gone up again now to about 30.Patriciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11685403215601517267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1579555037165364084.post-68214979770921506622015-02-21T14:52:22.737-08:002015-02-21T14:52:22.737-08:00Good luck! natural events like this can be scary. ...Good luck! natural events like this can be scary.

However, no lives lost and Emergency Services got everyone to safety in shelters like local schools. Lots of floods, including one at the end of our street which cuts the road.

No lives lost, but many homes battered and roofless. However, Emergency Services have become very skilled now at providing shelters and use social media and TV to their advantage to get the word out. We are fine, and as it travels south, most of the force has gone out of the cyclone.

The cyclone has deteriorated into a gray and miserable day, with a flood across the park where I usually walk. <br />Lots of people lost homes or roofs at Yeppoon and Rockhampton where it crossed the coast, so the clean up will take some time. xxPatriciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11685403215601517267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1579555037165364084.post-8280686916495317252015-02-20T15:58:08.460-08:002015-02-20T15:58:08.460-08:00Oh no, I didn't hear about this.
