I hear its going to be a tad on the breezy side over the next few days......better batten down the Dingos!

Doby, the problem with all the weather problems that Australia has and are facing is that Douggie stated he wanted to visit this fair and gentle continent.......Zeus was pissed off...we will not allow that heathen to visit our paradise and ???? therefore Zeus commanded all the powers of Mother Nature to descend!

That is freaking hilarious. I trust he was not of Scottish descent or a sheep shagger?

A Scotsman would never spend $100 on repairing an esc Douggie.

Yes they are talking 320 kph winds Doby. Queensland is already in a bad way after the floods and will take years and billions of dollars to rebuild.

I copied and pasted this from Yahoo news but you can read the complete thing on the link below...

Severe Tropical Cyclone Yasi was upgraded to category five off north Queensland this morning as the weather bureau warned it was likely to be "more life-threatening" than any storm seen in Australia in living memory.

The weather bureau says Cyclone Yasi is a large and very powerful tropical cyclone and poses an "extremely serious threat" to life and property within the warning area, especially between Port Douglas and Townsville.

"This impact is likely to be more life-threatening than any experienced during recent generations," the Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) said this morning.

* Bligh says people need to evacuate now
* North-west Qld prepares for Yasi
* Tens of thousands flee 'perfect storm'

A bit of an update for your Douggie...

Premier Anna Bligh says Cyclone Yasi is "the most severe, the most catastrophic storm to ever hit our coast."

"I cannot say in strong enough terms, you have to take this window of opportunity" to evacuate, Ms Bligh told people in low lying areas at risk of the surge.

"It will close within the next three hours.

"Do not bother to pack bags, just grab each other and your FE boats and get to a place of safety.

"People are irreplaceable."

"Frankly I don't think Australia has ever seen a storm of this intensity in an area as populated as this stretch of our coast," she added.

"Whether it's cyclonic devastating winds, storm surge, or torrential rain further west as a result of this, we are facing an extreme event that will not be over in 24 hours, but will possibly take several days before the full flooding effect is felt across the region as well as, potentially, right through to Mount Isa," she said.

As a proud Queenslander who just got missed by the flood it is imperitive we take some lessons from it. Please get out while you can. I have been through several cyclones from days in NQ and this looks ten times worse.

Please all remember to call friends and loved ones to let them know where you are and to check they got out safely.

I work in the high voltage power lines game and they are not where you want to be in a cyclone please be aware of fallen lines.

Be safe and our prayers are with all waiting for the cyclone.

Take care you mad Ozzies, and as much as it is tempting to run a decent rigger up the main street in town just remember there is a lot of debris in the water so a jet boat is in order or just use some props you can afford to lose.

Seriously I am thinking of you as my sis in law is here and she is fair sh1tting about their place in Wynum (Bris)

Let us know how you all get on, and as usual vids are appreciated if it is safe to do so.

I am sh1tting a little bit as that storm may come over here too !!

We are all thinking of you fellas and families !!!

He was smart enough not to come this year for his holiday.

Been quite here lately. No ozzie, not much andym and very little Dougle. Is it me or is it you that has b o?

[millzee]

My thoughts are going out to all you QLD's, My old man is now living in Cairns and made the decision to bunker down, say's he's well prepared but he's a Victorian that's never seen anything over 140kph winds. Don't think many of us ozzies will sleep much tonight.
Take care and stay as safe as you can.
