So, Australia just got pummelled by a category 4 cyclone, Cyclone Debbie. It’s been downgraded now, but it’s still at tropical storm status. The Whitsundays and parts of NE Queensland are pretty much matchsticks right now. Roofs torn off, no power, no water, the works. The army and emergency services were on standby, and they’re apparently on the move today, we’re told.

(to add insult to injury, it has also smashed parts of the Great Barrier Reef that had escaped coral bleaching. Thanks a fuckin bundle, Debbie.)

We’re expected to get torrential rain, gale-force winds, and flooding all down the SE coast from lunchtime onwards. Schools are closed, etc. I live in the SE corner of Queensland, so think of me today and hope I don’t disappear under all this bloody water. 

it’s fuckin wet.

( @morvidra, @bubbysbub – stay safe.)
