Holding my breath for Cairns

This thing just hit category 5!

Bigger than Katrina!

Pretty nasty all right. The area around Innisvale is nearly flooded at the best of times.
Still, I guess all we have to worry about is a snow storm...

Oz is doomed. Divine wrath is upon ye. Y'all gotta stop punching them 'roos. Blow-up dolls only, now.

We've tried that. Note the warning from the police in the following "The incident led police to warn that blow-up dolls were not recognised floatation devices."

It's not looking good for Cairns.

Meanwhile, in the state of Victoria, the largest floods in recorded history are receding as they flow towards the north and west and bushfires are causing stock and property losses in the east. Back to normal.

We're thankful at least that the devastation that was expected in the area between Cairns and Townsville was not as bad as predicted.

Been watching on smh.com.au.
Lots of wrecked stuff, but no deaths......

Prediction, planning, preparation and an understanding community for proper execution - all key to that statistic.

I don't see a problem -- Australia is only like 20 miles across, right?

Oh Dear. Might even be a facepalm.
Unless it was another shot at Tasmanians.......

Glad everyone appeared OK.

Well spotted, Ash. I'm surprised they didn't pixillate Tassie.
