Cyclone Yasi...

2-Feb-11 07:30

my thoughts go out to everyone in the north here over the next 24 hours...

this is gonna be something that hasn't be seen in anyone's lifetime here...

tracy was a level 3 and all but levelled darwin in '74, but she was a pup compared to this mutha.., yasi is a high level 5, they don't come any bigger than this...

it extends approx 1000 kms, or 600 miles, in diameter, with winds expected up to and quite possibly exceeding 300kms (180mph) an hour...

it's moving slowly at around 30kms an hour so it will take over 24hrs to completely pass...

the eye alone will take over an hour to go over, and then the shit hits all over again for another 12 hours or so...

my best wishes for your safekeeping, whoever you are...

Nth Queensland is about to be blown off the map...

yet in Sydney, perhaps 1400kms south, aussies are drinking piss and celebrating about sticking it up the pommie cricketers again...

i like my cricket, but gotta wonder about life sometimes...

Ah Bill, it is always good to give the Poms a toffee!

Nearly as good as giving the Aussies one!

But seriously, thinking of those QLD folks and hope they are safe and sound, and normality returns soon.

My thoughts and prayers are with the people of Queensland.

Why are some people expected to endure so much all at one time .. and all we can do is watch this disaster unfold.

Bless ya hearts ladies, it's going to be a real rough night up there tonight...

for those of you in the U.S.., think of a 180mph tornado that is expected to have a really fucking good go at your house for about 4 - 6 hours, not just a few mins...

"Heavenly Father, I pray for all in the path of this terrible storm! Please protect them and bless them! Please have mercy upon them! In the Name of Jesus Christ, my Lord and Savior I pray!"

"And, Heavenly Father, I pray for all that have been involved in the 'storm', so to speak, on these forums. Please bless them and guide them, whether they believe in You or not, please help all to be at peace with each other here and please bless them in their lives outside of these forums. Please bless and watch over those who have left here. Thank you, Heavenly Father, in the Name of Jesus Christ, my Lord and Savior, I pray. AMEN!
