After all the floods and a smaller cyclone, which you can see the remnants of over northern NSW, this will be a very cruel blow to Queensland.

That would completely cover all of Britain.

All flights out of Townsville have been booked out and the Government have offered $20 train tickets for everyone else that wants to leave. I wouldn't need to be asked twice.

We haven't heard anything about it on the news here yet.  I hope it's not as bad as is feared.

It's dropped out of the news completely, hasn't it. Egypt is the dominant story instead.

It's been headlines of Sky News this morning and 2nd lead story on the BBC.  The situation looks very serious.   :(

It does indeed.  Difficult to imagine the incredible power of nature.

Just seeing roofs ripped off here back in the 80s was scary enough.

The aftermath of 1987 was bad enough here.

Exactly, and that was nothing compared to this storm.

Indeed.  I hate to think what they must be going through.
