Storm damage

[DaveR]

Man. We are just lucky were we are, I know people at Helensvale that got smashed again, but we only got  a bit of heavy rain again.

Yep, I jumped onto that 1 alirght, but I may have by accident left the wife's car outside, with a target on it, hoping........
But disappointed.

I knew it was big!

November's savage hail storm generated enough power to bend the eastern stone wall of Brisbane's gothic Anglican cathedral, it has been revealed.

St John's Cathedral, which took more than a century to build, and its surrounding buildings suffered up to $3 million worth of damage in the November 27 storm last year.

The gothic cathedral was finally completed in 2009, 108 years after the ground was broken in 1901.

You only have to drive around Moorooka and Annerley to see how big it was, there's still many houses with smashed or boarded up windows, and several places still without rooves that I've seen also. Have seen atleast one house and a unit complex where people have had to move out, as the places are unlivable.

No it's not. Unless, you listen to the radio, watch the news, then the whole of Qld is ****ed. 

I think people (Qlders also) forget how large this state is. The Central Coast, 1000 km away from Brisbane is in for a whole lot of hurt. Those poor bastards are about to be going through hell? The southern part of the state, coastal area, is in for a ripper of a storm.

The media are expecting a combination of Yasi, 2011 floods, Tracey, 2013 floods, possibly a few tremors, followed by a touch of drought and some of the Vic fires to add a bit more hype.

The hype on the radio today is insane down here

Central Queensland residents are enduring a "harrowing and terrifying experience" as Category 5 Tropical Cyclone Marcia crosses the coast"
