i've been through cyclones before... 11 to be exact, including 4 of the 5 biggest to hit oz so far.
cyclone orson hit on my 21st birthday, and wrecked my home as well as flipped my car over onto the roof.
during the worst of the cyclones, i well remember sitting in the bathroom, wrapped in doonas and buffered by mattresses.... and i remember very clearly my fear when the roof was ripped off the house and it seemed the wind might suck us all straight up and out into the storm.
my thoughts and prayers are with all those facing Yasi - i'm hoping that all come through with no losses too harsh to bear
and there, people, is the reason i now live in a place of mild climate.
