I'm not sure if it's been reported outside of Australia, but we will have the biggest cyclone every to hit Australia cross the coast in about 6 hours time. It's a category 5 - about the size of Katrina - and ten times bigger that the cyclone that flattened Darwin in 1974.
Some statistics: the cyclone front is 100 kilometres across (about 650 miles) and winds up to 400 km/h (about 240 miles per hour) may be experienced. It will wipe out cities, towns & communities, wipe out crops, and will damage the Great Barrier Reef. Waves of up to 20 feet are expected to flood the coastal towns. Evacuation Centres have been set up, but sadly people have had to leave their pets at home to fend for themselves.

It's going to be an horrific 24 hours in the beautiful north of our country.
Please lend a thought or prayer for those who will lose everything.

I'm scared for them.

My younger daughter lives in Australia with her family.

The cyclone is coming right after the terrible floods, and so it's a really grim situation in Queensland.

Rest assured that my good wishes and prayers will be with you guys down there during this tragic time.

Australians tend to be tough and resilient, so you will bounce back in good order.

In the meantime, God bless all of the victims.

Hi Keith,

Our thoughts and prayers are for those caught up in the midst of all this.

We pray for them and I'm sure they are doing some praying also.

I'm blessed watching God do what He does best. I've had a few rough years, and I'm still not back to where I want to be, but I'm on the way and things are looking far better now than what they were!

The category 5 cyclone crossed the coast at midnght as expected, but fortunately bisected the two major cities in the area. Lots of damage to propery & crops, power lines & trees down everywhere, but thankfully there have no reports of death or serious injury.
Let's hope it stays that way.


Cheers,
Keith

May all of you be safe. Hunker down and hold on, and let us know when the danger has passed.

Hi Don,
Well it seems that it doesn't matter whether you live in the Northern OR Southern Hemispheres, Mother Nature gets angry in February. I just want to make it clear that we weren't affected by the cyclone, it all happened way, way north of us.
Only one death has been reported, but not directly attributed to the cyclone. When the power went out a guy brought his diesel powered generator into the house, shut all the windows & doors and fired it up. He was overcome by the fumes & died.


Cheers,
Keith

Former President Bush isn't too busy these days. Maybe he could fly over it for you.

Floods, a cyclone, and now wildfires? May God have mercy on you all.
