Hi anyone in mackay that can comment on how things are there I have a brother there and have not heard anything since about 7hours ago on the cyclone hope everyone is ok.
Power is still out for a large number of homes in the area, luckily mum has access to a generator to keep the food in the freezer/fridge cold. Some mobile services are still down in the area as well.
Most of the trees on our little block lost their leaves and a couple of branches here and there; but we did fairly well in town.
A few mates on farms further north copped it a bit harder than we did. As Sunfish said, Prossie copped it hard as did Bloomsberry and Midge Point. I just wonder how Laguna Keys is going? I'd imagine that they would have been right in the firing line!
Mackay district's had a bit of a rough trot with natural disasters over the past few years! Could be worse though I suppose!
