unwanted visitor

**journeyman Mick** · 19th March 2006, 06:48 PM

We've all had them, an unwanted visitor. They come at an inopportune time, and you need to tidy up around the place to prepare for their arrival. Well I found out yeaterday afternoon that we were having one of those visitors. I've spent the whole day today tidying up around the place, ready for his arrival early tommorrow morning. I even finished screwing down all the barge capping on my shed extension and borrowed the fire truck to fill three empty 1KL water tanks I had sitting around. Cleaned the front and back verandah of all loose objects and had a really good tidy up in the yard. His name is Larry and you can see him here: http://www.bom.gov.au/products/IDQ65240.shtml

Hope he buggers off quickly!

Stay safe, JM and all the rest up that way- Looks like it could be a biggie

All the best Mick. Hope you don't get on the way!!

**womble** · 19th March 2006, 07:10 PM

I really don't want this thing to hit, our house is not yet ready for a cyclone

I'm expecting to lose the roof at the very least as it hasn't been fully screwed down yet, the building inspector was supposed to visit it tomorrow to inspect the cyclone proofing of the roof structure, so the sheets of iron aren't fully secured.

I'm praying it veers south but it doesn't look good

All the best Mick and Jane..

Weird I know , but I have always wanted to experiance a strong blow, hurricane/cyclone.

I hope that he changes his mind and just dont bother coming over

Stay safe Mick, make sure you look after yourselve's if this bugger does show up.

Cheers Ian

Yes, all the best to the FNQ'er's.

It used to be exciting when I was a young un, now I'd just stress I think.

Hope the rain off it spreads far and wide though.

Mick,

Good luck. I shall be thinking of you tomorrow morning.

When Cyclone Steve hit in 2001? we hired the movie Twister for the night - that turned out to be scarier than the cyclone (which did dump an incredible amount of water). This one is moving a lot faster both laterally and cyclonically.

**Andy Mac** · 19th March 2006, 08:08 PM

Yeah, keep safe guys. Sounds like you're organised already. I'm just hoping the visitor will spread some of that rain around.

Maybe there'll be some windfall in way of trees to harvest later, trying to think positively you know!

Good luck,

**echnidna** · 19th March 2006, 08:13 PM

Keep well Mick

**womble** · 19th March 2006, 08:20 PM

It is absolutely still here, not a breath of wind anywhere and no rain whatsoever. You wouldn't think a cyclone was coming. It will change later no doubt.

**Driver** · 19th March 2006, 08:26 PM

Good luck, Mick and all the other FNQers. Stay safe.

**craigb** · 19th March 2006, 08:34 PM

Larry is one angry mother! :eek:

Batten down the hatches all you FNQ'ers.

Good Luck!

**outback** · 19th March 2006, 08:36 PM

Stay safe, keep yer head down, and send the rain down our way.
