    Cyclone Yasi, Winds Stronger Than Katrina, Hits Australia Coast
    February 02, 2011, 10:29 AM EST
    By Robert Fenner

    Feb. 3 (Bloomberg) -- Tropical Cyclone Yasi, packing winds stronger than those from Hurricane Katrina that devastated New Orleans, reached Australia’s coastline as residents in the northeastern cities of Cairns and Townsville filled evacuation shelters seeking refuge.

    I know as of yesterday she was still there but thinking about evacuating, did she at least go to one of the centers?

    Although, this storm is so violent, I can't imagine being safe anywhere near it.

    Just keep praying for all of them.

    it's hard to leave your home ... for various reasons ... the worst being that you are afraid that looters will take your valuables ...

    i would suspect that despite the ferociousness of this storm - that the majority of casualties will be the result of uninformed decision making post storm ...

    It's so frigging annoying that the news here is saturated with stories about snow and rain here in New England with a few words here and there about how "oh yeah, it's snowing in Chicago too" and hardly a whisper about Australia.

    Ziggy, I hope you're hunkered down safely with your family...

    I got weird ass goose bumps right now.

    I've never met Ziggy, but this little space and place has such a family tie and personal feel to it...

    ...

    On alighter note, I'm also worried about Speedy, but I know he is a bad ass that knows how to dress for the weather.

    they left the house they live in to go to her parents house which is up a hill. her whole family is there with their pets and they're in a bunker-like room under the kitchen. so at least she's not in their own house.

    From the map and tracking website it looks like Townsville or very close is the impact point

    Ziggy is a survivor with lots of common sense,
    we can be sure she made it to a shelter and that she will be ok.
    Prayers for Ziggy and all those there.

    Boy, she'll have some story to tell her kids someday. :shock:

    Has anyone heard from Zig? I text her before & no reply. Maybe mobiles are down. Still no deaths that I've heard of which is something of course. I guess they're waking up about now to see how bad the damage is.

    Hope you are OK Ziggy!
