How did you pull through our little cyclone?

No damage Bakes ,we lost power from about 0300 to 1200 , spent the day cleaning up.

Shitload of rain, few branches and small trees down. Nil damage that I have seen around the town.
Haven't spoken to Gary yet to see how Katherine fared

Spoke to a mate in Katherine. They just got some rain.
Wife was called into work yesterday (Power water)to man the phones. Get this, people were ringing and complaining that they had no power! No shit, there was a bloody cyclone go through!!! Power water lineies were working their arses off and one bloke demanded the power to be put on. He said he was tired and he had to clean up his house AND he had kids at home. Of course the wife couldn't say "So do I mate but I'm here answering stuipd questions from a fucken moron

Well she could Bakes, but it would'nt do her career prospects any good.

all good here, but its a bit of a worrie tho, you have a look round and see all the fallen trees, mostly african mahoganys. and think what would happen if we ACTUALY got hit by a cat 3 or more?
love the comment about the power water phone calls. you should hear the pissing and moaning i gotta hear about someones tv's broken and needs to go in for repair, you would think the world was gonna end. ffs its only a telly, they probably have 8 others in the house anyway.

I offered to go in and answer some phones for her but she said no I think I would've done a good job.

Guy on the news tonight whining that he had no aircon. Shit, after Tracey we had no water, no clothes and no house but we managed. Every one these days expects the problem to be fixed straight away by someone else, can't they think for themselves?
Pen said there were people asking who would compensate them for the loss of food in the fridge/freezer. I've got an idea for them, stop spending your money on smokes/booze/pokies and buy a bloody gen set!

i dead set got a gennie and eversince i have not lost power. nearly two years and i have to runn it just to turn it over.
i sat and wached the radar all night never lost power at all. but work did so i got the day off
