Hello!! Sorry, I've been too busy clearing up !! We're ok, aside from losing
a few trees. It hit an hour south of us, so it's pretty bad down there, and
pretty messy here, but thanks to it hitting only a smaller town and some
good planning by our government (who might bugger up the health system but
handles disasters quite well) there were no lives lost. It was a category 5,
the same as Katrina. It could have been a lot worse. There is a lot of
cleaning up to be done, for many weeks, we were declared a national disaster
zone the day before it hit, and they have sent up Blackhawk choppers and
army and emergency workers to help. Lots of people have lost their houses.
:( If you google 'cyclone larry' you'll see what I mean....we were VERY
lucky~!!

In some ways....and we have a lot less people to worry about. Possibly we
also have more disaster per capita than you guys; we seem to have one big
something (flood, fire, cyclone, drought etc) every year so they are used to
it. They're saying 'no casualities as yet' so hopefully that means none. We
have some real 'close miss' stories though, mainly people seemed to be ok as
they followed the cyclone instructions we are brainwashed with.
