Aussie Post-Cyclone Check-in Thread

[Immelmann]

Just thought we should have a thread for our resident Aussies to post in and let us know they're okay.

 

Best of luck guys, hold on. :(

Thanks. I'm in Melbourne (right down the bottom of Australia opposite where Tasmania is) so I'm fine. Queensland had all those floods recently (just south of where the cyclone is, but probably some overlap), and they had their last cyclone back in 2005, and one before it in 1996 I think.

 

I've been using this link to keep tabs on it.

I just saw the radar images, and whoa. :eek: We all wish you good luck.

I'm with Ryzza. Melbourne.

 

Massive kick in the teeth to them. Especially since they had huge floods a few weeks ago... 177,000 thousand home without power but it was a Category 5 cyclone which hit the coast at Midnight last night local time in Queensland (1am where Ryzza and I live). Anyway, i don't think we have anyone who lives in Far North Queensland who is actually a regular member anyway...

[Ryzza5]

So we're adopting Diablo's mentality of 'screw the lurkers' then? :lol:

I can't wait to see some photos of those supposed pink and red clouds :lol:

 

Glad to know you guys are safe though. We've still yet to hear for Dave though...

I can barely see Queensland at all now:

Stay strong you lot.

We had quite a storm last night and here's the result about 5-10km's from my house (which is on a hill so all good).

I rode down on a friends bike with him to help out his friends in there.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Narre Warren - Cranbourne Rd (just under the railway overpass near Fountain Gate)

Ouch, didn't get anything like that here...

[Ryzza5]

Which suburb are you in again?

[T0M722]

Highett, close to Sandringham.

I'm In Carrum downs which is near Frankston ( about 10 mins from where Ryzza took those photo's) & we didnt get any flooding at all. I could of slept on the street in the rain if i wanted lol.

 

Oh incase you wanted to see some people with more money then sense tackle a flooded street in Melbourne enjoy

 

[Ryzza5]

And here's the reason why we've been flooded:

 

 

 

The tail of the cyclone system (not actually a cyclone anymore) moved south to Melbourne and hit us last night - with lots of thunder, lightning, and solid consistent rain.

My town was hit by Cyclone Bianca about a week ago (Other side of Australia in comparison to Queensland) so apart from a the roof of one of our water tanks being torn off and a few fallen over trees, all was ok. Nothing like what Yasi has done

[Ryzza5]

I'm hearing about cyclone Bianca and Anthony but I haven't seen any massive clouds around Western Australia :hmmm:

 

This La Nina is really being a bit of a pain, eh? :)

[AustinDB9]

haha Yeah, it's just decided to pick only on Australia (Mainly east) for the past month or so..... :P

 

Bianca was a quick one. We only had the big clouds when from when it was at about Perth (300km north) until it died 20km south of me. So it was only 8-12 hours of rotten weather. Now we're back to cloudless 30+ degree days although the wind is still sticking around even though it hit just under a week ago.There was heaps of rain but no floods worth mentioning.. Your side of Aus definitely copped it a lot more then us :/

Well that's good to hear :)

[iLLGT3]

Well, I'm here.

[T0M722]

Haha! It's ok guys... Calm down. Jeff is here and he's ok. You can stop worrying guys...

 

xD

[Andreas¹]

Glad to see that all of you so far are okay.

How come I have not seen this thread before? :confused:

[Leadfoot[YT]]

Glad you guys are all right (and glad you dodged the bullet, Ryzza :eek: ). Here's hoping our non-regular members are okay, too.

Good luck to all the Aussies:) Glad your all okay.

[Guest MrLolololXD]

I've fixed a few posts today, I'm on a roll.
