My Daughter and her family recently shifted from WA to Torquay, Hervey Bay
Qld, she is right on the coast, trouble is I have no idea where that is and
NO contact phone number as yet - is she in Larry's path??

She (Katrina) and her family survived the Katherine floods several years ago
but lost all their possessions.

Dear Lois,

Go to http://www.bom.gov.au/weather/qld/ and look at the tropical
cyclone threat map summaries - they will give you very up-to-date
information on the path and size of the cyclone

It looks as though Hervey Bay is *well* south (hundreds of km away from
the danger) of the cyclone danger and your daughter and family will not
suffer any ill effects at all (except maybe some rain).

I hope this helps.

Thank you, I guess no news is good news - right?

There's a number you can call to find out if they are OK if you need to. its
the Police Assistance Line: (Australia, ie +61) 1800 100 188.

The people up there are pretty Cyclone smart. Tehre's been reports of cuts &
bruises but no loss of human life.

The cost to propery and agriculture (mainly bananas and sugar cane) is eaily
in the millions, possibly billions though.

And there's another one brewing out to see that looks like it will hit
exactly the same place :-(.

Keep purring.

Sounds like the one-two punch of Katrina/Rita here. Mega purrs coming that
everyone stays safe!!! As we've found out, property can be replaced so if
it's heading your way get people and pets out and don't worry about the
"things" you leave behind.
