Cyclone Larry pic, with a dot where we are

[Shawn]

Nice sat pic of larry, tracked pretty much West from this pic, missed us by about 80k. but the damage here still extensive, still cleaning up...:( . you can see the coastline on the image just...Cairns West North west of us...

It is hard to imagine how big they are until you see a sat pic like this.

Whoa... doesn't look like the transparency and seeing would have been any good that night. :)

I hear it's been raining ever since up your way... true?

You only live a few dozens of Kms from my folks SD. They live at Tully Heads, y'know just south of where the eye is :scared:

[Shawn]

Yeah , was pretty scary, I wasnt home when it hit was looking after the yatch, up the creek at cairns sharing the mangroves with half starved crocks and mosquitoes. Blew dogs off chains, unbelievable

Yeh that Cyclone Larry, extreme cyclone on record with 320km/hr winds on land! I can't believe it what happening! Anyone got video clips of it?

[Shawn]

My wife was hiding under the table with the children. but was brave enough to point the handiiicam out at the window, so I have some a short clip of trees and debris, and part of our roof flying around the garden,,and the noise,,,sounds like a 747 in the living room. ill have to convert to a more appropriate media, tho,,
