Just to put this in perspective hurricane katrina was CATEGORY 3.
Its just not australia's day is it?
Jeeeeesus thats a big'n though.
My goodness me. They really have had it bad this year. :(
Seen this this morning on sky news before i went to work.
Hopefully there won't be too many causalities or deaths, best of luck to everybody bracing themselves for this terrible event.
Queensland (let alone Australia) is getting hammerd right now.
I'm in Rockhampton (south of the expected hit places) and it has been very cloudy all day. (10pm right now). It has also started raining really heavily, however that has been on and off.

Poor Queensland, goodluck to you all is all I can say!
austraillia seem to be having it real bad this year, and it's only just turned february, good luck to you guys!
Thankfully it seems Australia have given people enough warning and evacuated areas likely to be hit. The State Premier made a fantastic speech too, telling everyone to not pack too many bags - that human life is more valuable.
harry i hope you don't die. I'd cry and cry and cry and cryQuote:

poor aus, i read somewhere they're putting tax up a bit so they are able to pay for the damage
Woah it's cloudy AND raining, this is a full on cyclone, brace for impact.Quote:

I have family who live in Queensland and thankfully they haven't been damaged badly or hurt for that matter. Although I believe 1000s of other home have been damaged though :(
It was downgraded to a category '3' which is some blessing but pretty bad destruction from what I hear. What's going to happen to Queenslands next? A plague of locusts? They really have had it bad.
It was 5 when it hit but downgraded fast as it moved across land
nice to see you are still alive
A Category 3 is still one heck of a storm, I'm glad it wasn't a 5 though.
A plague of locusts? haha. We hardly have enough crops for them to survive.Quote:
