"A cyclone is coming"
What are you supposed to do, move to brisbane? lol
As I said earlier, I would have left, but you cannot leave a week before it is due to hit 'somewhere'...
Might work if you were due to go on holidays or something.
And as for Tasmanians being the only ones not able to evacuate, not true.
We all know Victorians are proof that Tasmanians can swim.
I'm off to clean my yard up.
Well, if you're that serious about cyclone threat, then yes. You could leave on the provision of "what if". But there has been 2-3 days notice of exactly how severe this cyclone is becoming and the threat it poses to certain towns/cities/areas, and that is more than enough time for arrangements to be made to get away if possible. For example.... Townsville - Brisbane, Approx 8? hrs drive (if driving almost straight through), 24 hours to a day, 2-3 days notice....You do the math.
And before you go getting you're panties in a twist even more and resorting to an attempt at insults against Tasmanians, (Try it....I've heard them all lol) I will remind you that my previous comments are directed at those that chose to stay under the (as CSP put it I think it was) "She'll be right" attitude or left it until the very last minute to leave, and are now stuck. I understand that not everyone has the resources to go somewhere safe and can only stay and prepare the best they can.
But I still stand by my view that those that chose to stay, when they have the ability to leave are fools.
