cyclone yasi wow

just got power on so i thought i would see if anyone was affected by the monster storm,,i picked a good one for my first cyclone in mission beach it has made a great big mess for us residents up here but the good thing was no people have been killed from the cyclone,,,,our house suffered minor damage with the front doors ripping clean off there hinges and left smashed on the verandah,,had a window go in my boys room and trash all his music gear,,lots of water thruogh the house,,it amazes me that there was not to many houses totally destroyed,,i got to drive through cardwell the other day and the people down there have real problems as no houses were left undamaged,,i fell for those people in cardwell and tully heads ect,,i am happy we are still alive (not that anyone would care) and still able to live in our home..2 thumbs up for the pole home construction with bunkers under them,,if anyone on here got affected and you need a hand with anything please pm me and i will try to help,,cheers peter

hey bugzla i have heard some amazing stories of people who were stuck on the side of the road with flood waters and were sent to the calvary christian college and they said the way they were looked after down in townsville by that school and church was something amazing,,,,2 thumbs up for townsville for looking after there fellow far north qlders,i hope your self and family are doing alright,,i know townsville was very worried about the tidal serge,,i have never in my 47 years seen the deverstration of a tidal serge until i seen cardwell and port hinchinbrook,,i had tears in my eyes drivig through those areas,,makes you respect life,

here here ...................... there will be a car show at balgal beach on the 22nd of may our drivers club is going up for the day would like to see you there . take care bud

we only lost power for 3 days, no house damage luckily. drove through cardwell the other day and I didn't realise I was in Cardwell until I hit the main street!!!! Unbelievable, looks like an atomic bomb hit, police, ses, army and everyone was there!!! we were definitely lucky in Cairns.
