Oh, geeze, Cyclone. I feel for you, John. Please stay safe and we send
lots of luck. Some said southern U.S. is very wet, possible tornados. Any
validity to this? What say our PDMLers in the south? If true, sending good
wishes to you folks as well. Cheers, Christine

I'll see your blizzard and raise you a Category 5 cyclone!
Cyclone Yasi is due to hit the Queensland coast tomorrow, with winds up to
200km/hour, which is quite enough to lift off roofs, knock down even
mature
trees, and blow even heavy garden furniture about. Wouldn't be at all
surprised that some of the buildings weakened by our recent floods will
collapse if the cyclone is as bad as predicted.
Here in Brisbane we're probably only going to get 100km/hour winds, as the
cyclone is due to arrive about 800km north of here, but these things can
change course very suddenly and quite unpredictably, so we'll take all the
necessary precautions by clearing stuff from outside.
Can we have some of Christine's luck too, please?

Subject: Big Chicago Blizzard
It was expected to start at 3p, but it started a half hour early. Schools
closed at 2p & they've already called a snow day for tomorrow. Last
snowday
in Chicago was 1999. We could get anywhere from 10 to 2 feet of snow.
Some are claiming we're going to get 2-3 inches per hour. Worst time will
be 9p to 5am. Snowmobiles have been sent to the fire and police
departments
for rescue capability. We're under a blizzard warning until tomorrow at
3p.
The winds are really starting to pick up. I have a feeling the winds will
be the worst part of the storm; Lake Michigan waves are supposed to be
enormous--I won't be able to get down there to photograph them.
Since we have a snow day tomorrow, I'll be free to try for some pictures.
My big worry is power--sure hope it doesn't go out because I only have a
snort or two of scotch in the house. We're having brats and baked beans
for
dinner. May make some carrot cake. And a movie for sure.
Wish us luck! :-)
Big cheers, Christine from Chicago
