Well the damage from cyclone Yasi is nowhere near as bad as expected 
from a cyclone of that size and power. However lets face it its still 
very early in the piece
and some places such as Mission Beach, Tully, Lucinda, Cardwell and 
Babinda, where the eye went over we do not have any pictures as yet. It 
seems like there
has not been any loss of life.  Waht I would like to know is 'what is it 
that Queensland has done to deserve Flood and Cyclones (2)'. Maybe we 
have upset the GODS.
 From what we can tell down in Brisbane the worst hit is the Banana and 
Cane sugar industry. The cost to resources Rail, Road etc with flood and 
now this is
well over the 20billion mark.

I must also acknowledge the huge cost of weather in both the US and Uk. 
I am so glad we are in temps above 30C but the humidity is a bit of a 
killer at 80%.
I think I have a leak.

Val and I lost the roof off the house 2 years ago and went through the 
depressed stages, so I feel for all the folks who have been traumatised 
with the huge floods
and now the cyclones. We have been told that the cyclone season ends in 
April..................... we just wait.

To Man-wai and Vu Pham: Kung Hei Fat Choy. How the hell are you, no 
invasions on as yet in the 'yellow sub' ? As for Lonni its just as well 
I can still remember to spell
at 77. I must admit that this list is rather barren since I was last 
around, but I dwell in the past nowadays when we used to get 100+ emails 
a day.



Luck to all in the US with the coming freeze
