eurozerozero<p>Here’s a video from my parents of what it looked like on the ground (or on the water, as it were) after the main storm had passed, and this was an area where the houses were just high enough to avoid damage. They were very lucky. There were some higher areas that were OK, but lower parts of the town had turned into fast flowing rivers or putrid swamps.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/CycloneAlfred" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CycloneAlfred</span></a></p>
eurozerozero<p>I was watching this storm approach K’gari and Hervey Bay (my home town) throughout that night from here and it’s a huge miss from the Bureau that they didn’t issue any warning about it, because it was obvious for hours in advance that it was severe and was going to cause a problem.</p><p>Someone I know had water (actually, sewage) to a depth of more than 700mm in their house 😫</p><p>We’ll be back there at the end of the week and hopefully can help a bit with the ongoing clean up.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/CycloneAlfred" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CycloneAlfred</span></a></p>

Liam Pomfret, PhD<p>Feeling like we were extremely over-prepared in the end. Didn’t even lose power here.
