Give us the wind speeds in mph (miles per hour) and the rain total in inches or feet, or we don't give a fuck!

They actually showed this on the news tonight and said it was Australia's version of Katrina. Not good, my friend. Hope that you and all of your Aussie friends stay safe.

Other end of the country for me, but we'll get the rain next week from this. Whole country is going to pay for this big time and we haven't even started paying for the flood damage yet! :shock:

That is scary stuff, winds that high are over Cat. 5, yikes. We're used to hurricanes here in FL, but that is a monster storm there. Hope for the best.

Dan texted me this morning and told me you are a big whining pussy and to shut the fuck up about the weather. Waaaaa Waaaaaa! Dude, ever hear of Hugo, Jeanne, Andrew, and uh, oh yeah, Katrina? And you counter with Yasi? Yasi? Jesus Christ, maybe you can get Farcry, Talon, Gotthard, Unruly Child, Vega, Houston, Silent Rage, White Widdow and good ol Steve Augeri to come play a relief benefit show for you Aussies. maybe you can bank a couple hundred bucks(Australian dollars). :P I hear Augeri is flawless live these days. :)

Oops, looks like my elephant mouth overran my hummingbird brain. Yasi is bigger than Katrina was. :oops: :oops: However, you Blokes are supposed to be tougher than us.

On a serious note AjM, do the crocs and poisonous snakes get all riled up and run loose in the streets, wreaking havoc to people?
