I'm ALIVE!!

Thanks to everyone for your good thoughts and vibes! They worked. Townsville only got the edge of the monster category 5 cyclone....we probably got about a cat 2. I'm never going through a cat 3, 4 or 5. Two hours north of me is flattened. Fuck that! :shock: It was cyclonic for over 12 hours. The eye crossed at midnight on Wednesday and between midnight and 3am it got a bit crazy. The second half of a cyclone is always worse....and it was. Most cyclones only last 2 hours though. This one just dragged on and on and on.

I had about 2 minutes of terror when about 1am the ceiling started lifting from the pressure build up. I SHIT MY PANTS. I immediately jumped up and just stood there staring at the ceiling with my heart beating as fast as it could possibly beat....did I really see that? Then it moved up about an inch again and I'm frantically ringing my dad who was in a different part of the house, while putting my Docs on, while grabbing my bag and other shit, while screaming to Leigh "the CEILING is fucking MOVING UP -- get the DOGS!!!"....I've never moved so fast in my life! Then dad said their ceiling was doing it too and it was just from the build of up pressure....but I could tell he was concerned about it. That part was REALLY scary. I couldn't imagine having that feeling of fear like the people just two hours north had for hours and hours. I was listening to them ring the radio stations in the middle of the cyclone and they were all soooo scared!! Horrible to listen to at the time....but if you turned the radio off, the noise of the cyclone was too much....sounded like people screaming and howling and yucky sounds.

All in all, it wasn't too bad....we got out of it really well. If I hadn't seen the ceiling move, I would have been fine and not that scared. Can't wait to move to NZ....where I'll just have to deal with earthquakes! haha

Some photos:

Sunken trampoline -- about 2pm Wednesday -- started to build up and get windy


11am Thursday --- 11 hours after the eye crossed -- and still cyclonic winds


My bunker -- an office


We decided to go to mum and dad's (top middle house -- red roof, white walls, big white fence)...which is on a hill...facing the coast...and we had no wind buffer whatsoever! haha We got pretty hammered up there.


Ziggy waiting for the cyclone -- she loved watching it (while it wasn't too crazy and we could keep the door open)


All bunkered in with furniture blocking the sliding glass doors -- it got fucking HOT as soon as we closed them and I got sick for hours -- thought I was going to pass out -- the pressure was so great and no air at all....for HOURS. And I thought the glass doors were going to smash any second. And this was only a cat 2!


Solitaire -- with CARDS!!


Ceiling of my sister's apartment next door to mum and dad's caused by tiles flying off the roof


Massive trees fell over everywhere


Another tree


This tree just snapped in half right at the base


And another one -- for comparison, my bf is 6ft tall


Army helping with the clean up


Couple of hours drive north of me (not my photo) -- We were unbelievably lucky where Australia's biggest ever cyclone hit -- it could have easily been Townsville with 180,000 people instead of a couple of small towns with only a few thousand people.


A multi-million dollar pile of smashed up yachts

It's Mum and Dad's house....and yes, it's a great view....one of the best in Townsville. I loved living up there.

Are you being serious about the Australian Army?

Townsville is a great name for a place.. the day it was decided to name the town must have been hot and there were free beers on offer.

actual minutes from meeting:-
"The City Council decrees this place to be called ehhhhh Townsville.... now lets get a fuckin beer!!"

also, when the news was reporting from there I noticed a lot, i mean a lot, of the streets are named after Scottish places and towns... how cool!!

YASI....and it was only a cat 2 where we were and probably a little bit stronger up on the hill where I was....2-3 hours north got the cat 5. I can't even imagine going through that. There is no way in hell I'm ever going through one of those big bastards. Especially one that lasts 12+ fucking hours!!

chadwick

can i get me some Australian boaters insurance? they look like they'll be busy writing out checks in the next few weeks.

You can unfriend me, but that doesn't stop the stalking. In fact, I like it when girls play hard to find...

Well you can't buy it....it's being given to my little brother....and I'm in the will as his guardian when mum and dad die....which basically makes it mine! Muahaahahaaaa.... :twisted: Going to be a shit fight with the 3 other siblings when that day comes! haha

I live in South Florida after moving from the DC Metro area, sooner or later we will get hit by one of those cat 4-5. It will be a mess but we will be prepared I'm sure of it.

When I was preparing for the cyclone and quickly skimming the boards, did I see some hoopla about not being able to swear here anymore? Or was that a dream?
