Welcome to Just Commodores, a site specifically designed for all people who share the same passion as yourself.
to the guys saying your stupid if you stay, get real, where could we possibly go? can't go south, can't go north, can't fly because the airports are closed. Official statments advise staying in your home if it is structurally sound and not in range of the storm surge.
Your comment on knowing for 'weeks' about the cyclone is null and void.
These things are as unpredictable as anything and they can, will and have turned direction at the last minute.
No use setting up camp somewhere else and it comes and knocks you on your ass.
Reading this thread, its easy to tell those of which this cyclone is going to effect either through loved ones in the way or actually being in the way yourself.
Well actually, no it's not null and void. I remember during the week of the recent floods in Brisbane, around the time the waters peaked there were reports of a possibility of a cyclone developing in the coming weeks with the possibility of being incredibly severe. This report has turned out to be the one and only Cyclone Yasi that you are now all bracing for.
