Thinking about our members in Queensland

Wasn't too sure where to put this comment. Keep safe to all those facing the upcoming cyclone.

Comment by Melinda Auld on January 31, 2011 at 6:22pm: Yes - our thoughts are with all of you! I just saw the satellite image of Yasi - terrifying! It's almost the same size as the whole of QLD.

Comment by Chantal McIlveen-Wright on January 31, 2011 at 7:28pm: Definitively thinking of you all, hoping Yasi will leave you in peace, please let us know about you and how you are managing. Take care and keep safe.

Cyclone Yasi

To put the size of the cyclone in perspective, the white outline on the left shows the entire eastern coastline of Australia.

Comment by Trudy Walsh on February 1, 2011 at 4:16am: My sister and her family are in Brisbane. My thoughts and prayers are with everyone there. It is a very scary time for them all.

Comment by Suzanne on February 1, 2011 at 5:21am: Queensland has been hit so hard, first with the terrible flooding and now a cyclone.

Thinking of you all and keep your precious darling Setter babies safe.

Comment by Myra Thomas-Rhodes on February 1, 2011 at 6:15am: The whole world is watching. Stay safe everyone, we are all very worried for you.

Comment by Cheryl Gorey on February 1, 2011 at 2:15pm: Thank-you for your concern and best wishes.

We have just had Cyclone Yasi upgraded to a Cat 5 cyclone this morning. This means that the whole North Qld coastline (abt 1000kms) will experience the effects of this cyclone. Mackay (where I live) will receive equivalent to a Cat 1; Townsville a Cat 2 and the poor people of the more northern cities will experience the full effects of this moster with 320kms winds. Landfall expected around midnight tonight?

Please pray for the safety of people and animals while everyone prepares and lives through this horrific event bearing down on the Qld coast.

thanks

Cheryl
