Luckily we were spared damage and flooding, but I do feel for those poor sods a bit further down the track. There is talk of her reforming - we'll wait and see. All blokes are in denial about everything aren't they? Yup, this one sorta snuck up on everyone.

The sky grew exceedingly drak at lunchtime yesterday - I even commented to Jeff how it looked like twilight, but at noon. Now we have big cloud banks that are huge semi-circles - looks really weird. Elizabeth, the fungus is already rampant outside, but thanks to my A/C, everything inside is mould free at this time! Tazar, I hope The Bloke likes it rough on the high seas! I have the Cairns rain radar on the go all the time too - mine had the temps and wind direction, this is my link: http://mirror.bom.gov.au/products/IDR193.loop.shtml?looping=0&reloaded=0&topography=true&locations=true&range=true#image Everyone is panic buying at the shops again, however we did manage to get the essentials - Raspberry Chocolate Bullets.

Been very wet here too but no cyclone as yet. The bloke is meant to go to sea tonight or tomorrow so he'll have some lovely weather, not. I check that BOM website constantly too, especially the radar to see what rain is about to hit. They have that for Cairns: http://mirror.bom.gov.au/products/IDR193.shtml Doesn't seem to have the wind direction like the one for Darwin, but you can still get an idea of whether to hang the washing out or dust off the kayaks.
