Glad to hear that you are safe & well. We'll get BOTH joffaboy and the jiggster to buy you a beer when you come down for the footy !!

[SaintDebi]

I can't imagine how scary it must have been. Glad you're safe and hope all our other Qld SSers are ok too.

They reckon we had an equivalent category 2 in Townsville City.

We live in an acreage area and if that was a cat 2 then I can't believe no one is dead.

I'm having some beers to celebrate coming through. Can't believe no one was killed in tully or Cardwell.

Qld has done something wrong this year.

UPDATE 9.51pm: ONE of the two men feared missing in Cardwell has been found, but concerns remain for a man who was last seen in a yacht on the town's bay last night.

A North Queensland police spokeswoman said a family member in Canada was worried about the man, who had called them from a yacht out on the bay before the category five Cyclone Yasi hit.

The man told his family he was attempting to move his yacht into the mangroves for safety, but has not been heard from since.

Police are still trying to establish whether he is missing, the spokeswoman said.

"It's a little bit of a 'not sure if they're missing or not','' she said.

"Tomorrow we will do an aerial survey of the mangroves to see if the yacht is in that location.

"Unfortunately we're not going to be able to get there any sooner, due to the current weather conditions.''

I blame Fevola.

Any word from Cairnsman!?!?!?

[DWOODROW]

Nothing from cairnsman
yet but there is no power to alot of places so that will probably be the holdup.
