I may be AWOL for a few days

[Shorty]

Thanks for all the well wishes, it is appreciated.

Ita crossed the coast about 22:00 last night as a Cat 4.

Since been downgraded to a Cat 1 and due to pass Cairns about 30 klm, about 18 miles to the west of us later this evening sometime.

Been getting dumped on today, have emptied in excess of 18" from the pool since mid-day yesterday.

We expect to get a lot more tonight and tomorrow.

Road has been flooded higher than in the last 25 years according to my neighbour over the road.

Richard Craniums in their cars still won't learn to slow down.

I have great pleasure sitting out front sucking on a beer and watching them as they try in vain to restart their flooded engines.

Our flooded pool with Charlie, Delia's pet.
