My brother Ross and his wife Donna live in Cairns.  They are currently in a cyclone bunker that Donna’s parents built into their house, also in Cairns.  It’s an anxious wait to see what happens when Cyclone Yasi hits.  Please keep the people of Queensland in your thoughts and prayers.

ETA – Ross and Donna and their families came through the cyclone well – everyone is okay, no house or car damage, still to check out the boat. Lots of damaged vegetation, and a very sleepless, scary night. It looks like Cairns was well prepared and very, very lucky.
