Checking in on QLD members

[Sam]

Hello, just wondering if all QLD members are doing okay given the current weather conditions ?

[Burn]

You mean the blue skies and temps in the high 30's weather?

I kid ... I have to kid. News has been ridiculous the last few days basically making it sound like ALL of Queensland is in danger.

Unless Far North Queensland did cede from the rest of Queensland and Bob Katter forgot to tell us.

But seriously, anyone caught up in Marcia, I know what you're going through (all too well). Take it from me, you WILL recover. It'll take a while but you will make it through it.

I see blue skies and 30 degree weather! But i'm in melbourne for a work thing yesterday... my wife decided not to ask her sister to help get sandbags before she went to work, as a result we flooded, 1-2 inches apparently. Thunderstorm due to hit our area again in 20 mins and dump another 200-300mm today... and i'm stuck here thinking i shouldnt go shopping at lobos and northland in case something worse happens... hoping flights arent cancelled tonight

Did you get flooded? Sorry to hear that... Hope Mrs Akky & your home is fine... Just rain in my Areas at moment

Pretty big storm in Rocky, but doesn't look like too much damage looking around. Power is out to most of town though, and probably will be for a few days.

Oh and Burn, it hit central and SE Queensland (but was no longer a cyclone by the time it hit SE). Far north QLD was fine!

Damn dude. That sucks. I've been fortunate in that any time we've flooded we've only been cut off, always been high enough to avoid the waters (though since I moved into my new place we haven't had a flood ... here's hoping!)

Oh I know. I was taking the mickey out of all the various news reports that were basically saying ALL of Queensland was affected.

We received an e-mail at work from the head office of one of our professional groups to "wishing all Qld members well during this cyclonic event affecting the whole state".

Plus a text message from a friend in Melbourne who was checking in to make sure I was okay. She knows where I live, but the way things were being reported made it sound like Marcia was blanketing the entire state.
