    Dragonfly Lynn? Other sisters in Oz?

    Hey sweethearts
    Heard on the news today that Queensland was being evaculated due to a cyclone of our Katrina proportions. If you are on, please let us know you are high, dry, safe and sound. I have prayed for your nation quite frequently lately. Seems that y'all just can't get a break these past several months from the weather.
    Blessings and hugs to each!

      Aw geeze! They just can not catch a break. I too hope you all are safe and sound.
      Off to go check on my favorite stuffed animal designer. She's in Brisbane!
      Prayers that it misses you all!

        I saw that on the news today too and said a prayer. It seems they are getting pounded too.

        What if you woke up today and the only things you had were the things you thanked God for yesterday? :icon_hug:quilting trish

          Prayers being sent - I'm thinking we may not have a good update until the world spins about 12 hours. Lots of friends down under . . . special prayers.

          it's best not to try to put it out with gasoline.

            Thankyou for the thoughts ladies, it was pretty serious but people had time to prepare. So far no loss of life or serious injury but massive property damage. Fortunately it crossed the coast up north in a not so highly populated area but it seems two smaller towns have been all but demolished, and several others extensively damaged. Now they have to contend with yet more floods with water expected to peak this pm at about 11.5 metres so 37 feet or 12.5yds, that's a lot of water.

            Cathy your stuffed animal designer will be ok, Brisbane is in the south of the state. I have 3 friends in the cyclone area but no word from them yet, we've been asked to not tie up communication channels and there is power and phone outages throughout the area.

            On a bright note one lady had a baby in the storm shelter...hopefully she won't name it after the cyclone.

                    As an update, 3 ladies have had babies in evacuation centres, I like that the media are able to look past the doom and gloom and report some of the lighter more positive aspects. Not that I imagine delivering a baby in an evacuation centre was much joy for the mothers.

                    They have officially gone from cyclone alert to flood alert and the cyclone which apparently had winds in excess of Katrina is making it's way inland. Although it has now been downrated, it is still strong enough to be reaching areas that have never experienced a cyclone before, read 'do not have cyclone rated buildings'. The authorities are concerned that these people will not be prepared nor take the situation seriously enough. We are talking areas that are classified as remote so getting anyone in there to organise things is unlikely. Here's praying they have been watching what happened at the coast and play safe.

                        Thanks Lynn! I figured that I may not here from her for a bit. Power & communication troubles abound in those situations.
                        That does not sound good for the inland areas. Thanks for keeping us posted! I LOVE how we are so connected! Before long the news will be consulting MSQC for their reports!
                        More prayers of thanks for your safety and of concern for your countrymen.
