We have been without power for days now. The other islands are very much without power as the feeds to them are stuffed so I heard from a linesman.
I've been for a few drives around here and it's a damn mess. Never seen anything like it.
Glad you liked it here. It's not for everyone and it gets a lot of bagging. Depends how you live and who your friends are. Each to their own.
Well I hope we all got through Alfred without incident. (I was going to say that I hoped we all "stayed safe" but grumpy bum might be here) I've been without power since last night as have about a quarter of a million people around SEQ.
Here's hoping that all gets fixed soon enough.
I read earlier about one death which was a man driving in a flooded spot. Not nice at all and although it's frowned upon and he paid dearly, I do understand the desire to get somewhere and making bad decisions. Bless his soul.
I imagine we will be seeing more devastating news as the day (s) go on.
I had a look outside with a torch at about 3:15 but I'm yet to look outside in the light.
This old Queenslander seemed to have fared well, there's so many trees all around.
Here's hoping the rest of the communities in these Islands are all doing fine.
Ok stay sa........urm, OK keep out of harm's way everybody.
Yeah that looks rough. Just lost power myself so I've come to bed. Russell Island. We did really well considering how many trees there are here. Ok, goodnight, stay warm and dry.
Thanks for your first post here. I'm very new and have only posted some sunrise pics.
Well anyway, a friend of mine back in England about 32 years ago said to me that "America is the greatest threat to world peace". I didn't believe him and didn't understand. I was obviously a lot younger, and a lot more ignorant to the way of the world.
Well, look at it all now. John, you were actually making sense, thanks.
Thanks for the explanation Zag. Much appreciated.
Well yes ok. But in this case I'm talking about a huge monster that is twice as big. And has an engine that is more than twice as big. Not actually the same comparison as the one you made. However I'm fully aware of changes in fuel economy in recent years which is fantastic. ( The fuel economy that is, not the fact that I'm aware of it. )
Well people could stop buying those big Rams and all that. Having said that, I got talking to a Kiwi bloke that comes into work as a contractor. His has a 6.4 litre diesel engine and it gets better fuel economy than my Subaru Outback. Like WTF !?
He also told me all the comparisons with his LandCruiser, and the Ram wins absolutely.
Also, it's not America in general, it's that fuckung orange piece of shit and his cyber robot that were really against. What a bad shit show. Lots of people siding with Russia all of a sudden. Talk about blind sheep, sheeeesh.
Yo, what happens in the UK ?
Thank you. But heyyyyyy I'm not Grumpy. Heck I'm not even a Dwarf.
You stay safe too.
Haha. Keep dry and warm.
Well anyway, stay safe( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Well we got plenty of awful wind and rain yes. It was quite horrible and there's lots of devastation.
