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<br>
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.

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.<br>
From what we can tell down in Brisbane the worst hit is the Banana

flood and now this is<br>
well over the 20billion mark.<br></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Yes driving from Innisfail to Cains and it's just farm after farm of Bananas and Cane... Poor farmers they have to contend with so much.</div>

I must also acknowledge the huge cost of weather in both the US and

Val and I lost the roof off the house 2 years ago and went through

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<br>
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.<br>

Luck to all in the US with the coming freeze<br>
