    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.

    Thanks for the update. Keep 'em coming.

    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.

    SO what I am hearing is that it hit the coast as a cat 5, and hit a low populated area.

    There are no reports of fatalities or serious injuries at this stage Thank goodness

    Banana crops in Innisvale have been destroyed which is terrible. They supply bananas to most of australia and even the world. The same crop was destroyed in 06 cyclone and bananas went up to about $20/kg.

    Just got a message from someone who has been texting Ziggy (Susan). Ziggy, her boyfriend and their two dogs spent the night at her parents house in another part of Townsville. I think they had some sort of bunker set up there. Apparently it was a very frightening night but they are all fine.

    Poor Mission Beach copped it too. I remember going on holidays there many years ago and spent a whole day searching for the elusive Cassowary. We finally saw one at the end of the day in an enclosure at an Animal Sanctuary. :)

    Oh I thought I'd posted this before but someone's posted on Zig's facebook that "although she had a TERRIBLE night, they're all fine". That's the latest that's on there, from a couple of hours ago so sounds like they've got through ok. Hope the damage isn't too horrendous. The small town where it hit has been absolutely flattened apparently.

    Yes the Facebook message was from Kylie (ozsmalltowngirl) who kept in contact with Susan (Ziggy) thoughout most of the night via text messages. Apparently Townsville is without electricity today.

    The cyclone directly hit the small towns of Tully and nearby Mission Beach. Lots of damage there.
