Its right down the southern coast of Queensland. The cyclone will impact the most in north Queensland. <br /><br />Mind you, the Bureau said the effects of the cyclone will be felt as far west as Alice Springs. Amazing.<br /><br />I wonder how much more Queensland can take in terms of natural disasters.Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05579605252435380169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5847491402442204726.post-145503890292802512011-02-02T15:11:48.585+08:002011-02-02T15:11:48.585+08:00I was driving north from Birmingham, AL after clas...I was driving north from Birmingham, AL after class, 50 miles to my home. The wind was making it impossible to stay steady in the road. I was mumbling in my head about this horrendous wind I was suffering. Tree were down across the interstate southbound lane. I know a hurricane (cyclone) was headed toward Florida. All of a sudden it occurred to me that people's homes were being destroyed. So, I quit my grumbling and was so glad I was far enough inland that I was only getting tremendous rain. Eventually, it the terrific storm gave us rain. But, I managed to stay grateful for my own conditions and worried for others.<br /><br />I have a friend who lives on Bribie Island. I suppose the storm surge will affect the island, right? It does not appear to be far above sea level. He talks about walking from his door to shore. Does anyone know about what might happen on Bribie, just north of Brisbane?Practical Parsimonyhttp://www.practical-parsimony.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5847491402442204726.post-62313113257755578422011-02-02T15:11:08.028+08:002011-02-02T15:11:08.028+08:00I am so sorry to hear this!

I sure am worried about all of the people who have already been through so much! <br /><br />~Heidi<br />http://vansteaders.blogspot.com/-Heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03350457668863567842noreply@blogger.com
