Take care FNQ people.

Hope you go okay Robyn - don't know how we'll go having your demo this weekend... might have to postpone it, do you think? 
Take care.

Trying to stay calm myself.  My family is spread between Gordonvale, the Northern Beaches and Kuranda.  So far, none of them have chosen to leave home.  Although my father is currently not answering phone calls or texts. 

Hope everyone is as prepared as they can be.  Stay safe and see you on the other side.  xx

I'm sure he is just busy preparing Ceejay. Sometimes it is worse being away and worrying.

Hope everyone is well prepared and you have plenty of no cooking food ready.
Jo, wow 2 weeks without electricity!!! I just can't imagine it.

We're just south of Cairns. Everything is tied down so I distracted our house guests daughter by letting her to cook in the TM. She loved it and now we have some great snacks for later in the day. Not terribly healthy snacks, but who am I to argue on a day like today. Stay safe everyone else in FNQ.

My thoughts and prayers are with all of you who live in this part of the World.  Hopefully most of you have left or in a safe place.  Fingers crossed - stay safe.

Well, we went fine - still have a roof, kids slept through the worst of it thankfully! The sound of the wind last night was scary - I've been through a few cyclones & this was the scariest! But although it looks a little messy outside it's not bad here. Still rain & high wind. Tully was worst hit, lost roofs, etc. Cairns wasn't hit too bad either, but it still may flood.

Great to hear from you Jo and to hear that you are OK.Just need the rest of FNQ forum gang to make contact so we can breathe a sigh of relief.
