Been off the net for three days. Cyclone came Thursday night. No property damage thank fuck bar a few plants leaning more than they did, but it knocked the electricity out from midnight Thursday to just now.
Absolute hell on earth is three days in Townsville in the middle of summer with no fans or air conditioning. Thursday night wasn't bad as I'd had it on for two hours anyway so I slept fine, but got about 4 hours sleep Friday night and barely 2 last night. Absolutely unbearable. Everything in fridge and freezers ruined too, milk (incl one full 2 litre unopened), six iced coffees, pizzas, pies, cheese, eggs, ham.. What an effing performance. I've been living off lukewarm pepsi and lukewarm cordial with lukewarm water. Too late to go to the shops today now too. Thank Christ its back though, it was looking like another night of it, bugger me no!
