This fluffybunny. Kochie the monumental fuckwit, is expressing surprise that North Queensland emergency services are organised and know what to do when a cyclone comes.
-
Ch9 has their poor reporter standing out in the weather talking for 5m while across the road a house is being pulled apart.
It's like they watched an Emmerich movie and thought "yea, that's the stuff"
-
Is Kochie trying to hype this cyclone up so he looks braver?
"It may not be cat 5, but it's no less ferocious than Yasi" Jesus H...

@mariner4life said in TC Debbie:
Looks like you'll get pretty wet given where she'll cross. Probably storm surge tides as well.
People are fucking idiots. Within an hour of the first announcement on Friday every Coles in Cairns had sold out of bread and bottled water. Despite the fact the cyclone was not crossing until Tuesday, and a long way south.
-
What do big cyclones do for the weather up north?
Well, it's 5.30 and the temp is 35 (feels like 44). Fuck it's hot!
-
Jeez the commercial channels are shit.
There's a bit of rain heading our way from ExTC Debs.
Weather guy on Ch 7 looking suitably bedraggled poo-poohs the SEQ forecast for 150-200mm and breathkessly declares "that's incredibly conservative it'll be more like 450-500". Nobody from the BOM, ABC , Premier Palchook or even Livio Regano (you live in regional QLD you know who Liv is) is making ANY sort of doomsday prediction.
Move on to a Ch Nine promo. "BRISBANE! is expecting A MONTH OF RAIN! IN A SINGLE DAY! Join us tomorrow to see which suburb gets it worst! ! !"
FAAAAARK!

Well it's been pissing down here all night and the schools are closed. Seems a bit drastic to me, but it will apparently get worse during the day.
-
Notwithstanding that Ch7 and Ch9 remain the fluffiest of bunnies SEQ is now officially in panic mode.
All State schools and many private schools from Agnes Water to NSW, (thanks for the late notice) are closed pending a deluge of biblical proportions.
If you haven't built your ark it's too late.
Apparently they want less traffic on the roads mid arvo when it's expected to be at it's worst.
There is a fair lump of rain moving down from Gladstone and big rain already hitting Brissy and the GC. We've not been too bad as yet.

Well Bob Brown blamed the coal industry for the 2011 floods. I wonder what they'll blame this on.
-
This cyclone didn't come from Australia. Therefore Pauline Hanson and One Nation are the ones you want in charge if you want less cyclones.
These foreign cyclones are not compatible with the Australian way of life

It's unaustrayan @mariner4life

So now the solid rain comes to Brisbane.
This is Kedron Brook, four hours apart. It's already flooded in the first photo:
-
You blokes down south just aren't cut out for rain aye. I looked at the radar expecting to see huge swathes of orange and red, and instead it's all blue and green?

Brisbane is ridiculous. Without Wivenhoe Dam, God knows what would happen to the city every time something like this occurred. The fact that the old Queenslanders are all built on stilts gives a good indication of what it must have been like back in the day. A mate of mine lives near Suncorp Stadium and he's been flooded 3 times in the last year. Fark that.

@Rancid-Schnitzel and it's the Far North Queenslanders who get pumped by the insurance companies....
-
Just blown through here.
Good excuse for an afternoon off but jeez the weather has been worse.
Heavyish the last half hour or so but someone turned off the tap.
May be worserer further south.
Now have a waterfront property ... admiring our water views in the backyard with a quiet red.

When my parents moved here, they didn't want to be anywhere near the river or possible flood zone and bought a house right at the top of a steep hill. Now maybe they missed out on the boom in riverfront but they've avoided being underwater at least twice and don't pack shit every time it rains. I did the same (not that I could afford to live on the river). Fucks me why people want to put themselves in that situation. Lifestyle my arse.
