    Bit concerned for Queensland with the coming cyclone. Sounds like it might be very destructive. Hope everyone can stay safe.

      Yep. Most of my team at work is based in Brisbane and it’s all becoming a bit real with the disaster preparedness stuff and office closures etc

      Been thinking a lot about friends and family there. It’s looking very serious and worse than the usual floods and ex cyclones/tropical lows they get there. They haven’t had a real cyclone hit them bang on since what, 1974? They’re not as used to this as FNQ or the Pacific islands but I hope there won’t be any deaths at least.

        Huge population growth since then, lots more people at risk of being affected now.

      Definitely a worry.

      They have hardly recovered from the last ones. ☹️
