Cyclone Alfred Becoming a worry for those in its path. stay safe .

Cat 2 isn't too bad as you said that's for cyclone regions but for places that don't usually get them it can be a different story altogether with the wind not letting up for hours and hours in one direction only to go the opposite direction to add to the damage especially when so many carports awnings etc etc have a lower wind rating. Also it only takes 100mm of rain to create havoc in Bris vegas this will open some eyes if they get the predicted amounts
Storm surge is another big issue that can cause irreparable damage to coastal areas when the sand gets shifted away. People would be crazy to stay if they live in a low lying coastal area not worth the risk you never know what can happen. There are so many buildings right on the beach fronts at risk.

I'm also on the Gold Coast about 10km West of the beach in the hinterland . Starting to receive high wind guts that a bending the tops of tree's and it hasn't started as yet.

Also sitting here in parkwood.... waiting ...waiting....

And don’t you love the photo of a caravan parked out in the street in Brisbane, with there most stupid comments….we have filled the water tanks and this should keep it stable…without any form of lashing down the van, and then their next stupid commed, they are leaving on Monday and ready to go.


Didn’t they get slammed…..bloody idiots

Just seeing what people are doing on the news reports in the background just enforces the average intelligence of our population has regressed in latter generations.

Glad I don't have Facebook sounds like there's some smart people on it. Just like the ones running into the ocean and getting knocked down putting themselves at risk and probably expecting others to risk their lives saving them if needed. Some people just don't comprehend the power water can have no matter how many times they get knocked down. It's a shame the authorities don't arrest them and give them a 10 grand stupidity fine. I stopped watching the cyclone updates now too many idiots in the background.

I liked Ricky Gervais,s quote...."Never ask the average person anything...the average person is an idiot" Never a truer word said.

It probably follows then ....
When you're dead you don't know you're dead. It only affects other people.
Does the same apply for average people (i.e. idiots)?

I've always considered myself to be an average person.
What sort of idiot does that?

Suitcase...Being stupid is the same as being dead.....You do not realise it but everyone around is well aware of it.....

Apparently there are 4 kinds of idiots but I think 2 is enough an average person is an education idiot there the smart one's. Then the run of the mill idiots there the one's running around doing selfies for example without thinking of the repercussions of there actions. Say like standing on the beach with their back to the waves in cyclonic conditions it could just as well be a hungry lion they wouldn't know the difference.
