I would like to give a little extra to this for those who dont know whats going on.
There is a cyclone, known as Cyclone Yasi, aiming for queensland in australia. It is expected to be among the worst storms to hit queensland. This same part of australia has already dealt with alot of flooding this year (of which we have talked about in its own thread)

Good Luck fool look after yourself and stay safe mate wish there was something I could do....
Made it alive mate :) we were soooooo lucky in cairns. Feel really bad for the poor peeps that got hit down south... On the plus side, a category 5 cyclone hit and no loss of life reported yet :) we were spared really. Spared what could've been far far worse. Maybe qld sprung an abates just b4 the phracts hit! lol
glad that you're ok
amazed you have power and internet
somehow never lost power! or internet! Maybe because I live in town itself... still being as close to the beach as I am was a bit of a worry :S
