Yep you guys are in big trouble. SE QLD will cop the fall out from it and after the rain we have had and are having I would say 1/4 of the Gold Coast could flood.

My house would be among some of the first to go.

Why you did not sent me a Pm and arranged for a beer or two ?
Never mind, next time remember here the door is all ways open for camaraderie and good times.

I do (a bit). I lived in Carnarvon in 1970-71 then on Norfolk Island 1990-93 so I saw a few (not many) cyclones.

However, I've only been at sea during once during a cyclone. 'Twas interesting. I was a passenger (with my family) aboard a Russian cruise ship that had picked us up in Norfolk Island.

All them were pretty mild in comparison to Tracey and others.

Sorry mate ,but did not know you where there till reading this thread and your location sounded familiar,was camping at Miara,visiting my sister at Littabella,they run a aquaculture farm out there,borrowed some sand pegs (three foot long peices of reo rod with bend on top! )so i could keep my tarps from going to WA,thankfully the peninsula sheltered us from the more severe winds
