WOW! Thanks for the websites & updates roorider! I'm really sorry ya'll are going thru all of these disasters! I certainly hope you & yours are able to escape safely w/out damages to your place. It's always been a dream of mine to some day visit Australia & I now hope there's plenty of it left to see. I can relate to the worries, damages, etc. My family was hit by Hurrican Katrina several years back. Thankfully only replaceable material things were damaged, nothing really personal. Stay safe "mate"!
