Yes Denise, Madeline and Tony – we are OK – thanks for your concern. We had phone contact for a few hours after the cyclone went through but then lost it for 36 hours. Just back on the air now (3.30 pm Friday) and have managed to get onto the internet – but still can’t ring out. We missed most of the cyclone here (Mt Molloy – we are about 160 km north of where it hit the coast) – just got enough wind to blow a few shrubs over. It was a huge relief but our hearts go out to those poor people further south. Just unbelievable! I have been listening to the local radio since the cyclone went through (ABC – they are doing a fabulous job and have spent yesterday and today right in the middle of the worst of it, with contact and helping people where it is needed) and most people are saying that cyclone Larry had nothing on Yasi! Not much rain as the cyclone went through this area here but we are getting a deluge at the moment with creeks flooded and roads cut..
Thanks again
