Hoping all of our buddies in Oz stay safe, warm and dry. I'll be thinking of you all.

Same here, OZ sure has faced some tough things in the last couple of years. Fires, floods and now this.

Reports this morning are that no human lives were lost last night in Queensland, which is a miracle and such great news. I thought I'd post this link as it was a bit of nice news.

I saw the radar of this cyclone (which would be called a hurricane in the US) and it sure looked scary! Glad to hear that there was no loss of life.

Thanks for the update Cindy. I did find some photos here.

Thats good news, Cindy. Please keep us updated.

BTW, why is it called a cyclone there, and a hurricane here? I assume the words have two different origins?
