Glad to hear your family is OK Robyn, cannot imagine living without power for so long. DH would go into meltdown.

Great to hear that you are both OK Obbie and Robyn.I have been keeping a keen eye on the news over here to how the cyclone unfolded.Have they found the two missing men from Innisfail yet?

[judydawn]

Someone posted on Gretchen's Facebook page yesterday that they are OK, no further details re property damage but at least we know our dear friend is alright. I passed on the concerns of our forum members so that she will know we are all thinking of her - no power at that stage, don't know if that has changed yet.

So glad to hear that Jo and Robyne are fine.  Fingers crossed that all's well with Gretchen and any other forum members.

  we lost our power 8pm wednesday nite.
thank God we have 3 generators.
1 for us.
1 for my Mum and dad next door.
the other is on loan to our neighbors.

it was mainly innisfail, tully and mission beach that got the worst hit.

Glad to hear most of you are through the worst of it. I had my face glued to the satellite weather maps for days leading up to the event. The storm looked SO BIG and SO UGLY  from here. It was frightening to watch and think of precious TMX friends and their families having to endure such a thing, especially at night, without power etc. Sending big hugs to all!!!

But now, to the matter at hand: it is simply too quiet around here with Thermomixer and Gretchen both absent!    It's so quiet, I can hear a pin drop all the way to Canada. My goodness. That Gretchen must still be without power because I can't think of any other reason she would be so quiet...   Poor thing.    With the power out she must be starving for some chit chat  and I'll bet we will hear a torrential outburst of friendship when she gets back on line. I for one, am "bracing" myself in the hope that she will be boisterously present here again soon!

Gretchen, your fans are waiting...

 We still have no power, and they say it could be two weeks for us. but our phone is working now, although my mobile still won't work at home. I check it when I go into town. I went to a friend's with power today and rechargd everything, including my t touch, so now I can check in quickly now and then - yay! I was going crazy without internet, phone, power, hot showers, etc, and dh working nights so just ne & the kids... help!!! Feeling better now!  At least I go to perth in a week - really looking forwad to it!!! Don't know how dh will cope without power & thermomix & me, though!
