Just phoned my sister in Townsville to ask how she is coping with the cyclone, nothing major has happened yet, plenty of rain and gusts of wind. The main onslaught should be in about 8 hours. She is well prepared,my nephew who is house sitting for me is getting ready to sit out the storm in the laundry. The major worry is the storm surge, Townsvilles low lying areas have been evacuated. We do have a major army base in town so there should be plenty of help on hand.Best wishes and good luck to all.
