Cyclone Alfred: Supporting those in QLD and NSW

Hi Forums Family,

At this time, we remember all those who are affected by Cyclone Alfred. We are here to support you at this time.

For the community, feel free to share:

1) What helps you when you feel anxious about a natural disaster?

2) How can you prepare for an event like Cyclone Alfred?

@Snowie @Eve7 @Shaz51

Thanks @tyme I think I’m prepared as best I can be. The map says my driveway will flood well I can live with that.

Failing all else I have wine, cheese and crackers!

You're amazing with your positive outlook @Eve7

I'm keeping you in my thoughts and prayers and hope it's only your driveway, hun...

As for the cheese, wine and crackers? Why not? Anyway, don't tell yourself you can only have these when there's a cyclone!

Hugs to you. You have the community supporting you and cheering you on.

Stay safe @Eve7

Thank you @RachSANECEO I am as prepared as I can be but I will be worried if I lose power for any length of time.

@Eve7 it's worth having a few power banks in case you're phone does run out of battery to be able to plug it in if there is an emergency. Also a battery powered radio because if all else fails the radio will be able to keep you updated on any necessary warnings or updates. Wet frozen face washers are great as ice packs for perishables too (like that cheese to go with the wine).

Please stay safe!

Thank you so much guys for having this discussion, I am so scared 😢

I had a roof bloke here about a week ago, took 6 months right, only because there was a small mould circle in the ceiling, I had chivoces do nothing, as the pitch of the roof and the magifent breeze, will be nothing, or you can spend 10 thousand for a new roof, then he said 1200 hundred to fix the mould in ceiling part so I say yeah lock it in, I the get a call yesterday saying you can’t be in your house when the cyclone hits, find alternative arrangements ……

The next part, someone knock on my door at 1pm, sorry but I’m am so sick and tired of 24 clock, anyway it was him the roofer, he said how he was so sorry that he worried me but he wants to make it right and me be safe, he said he has a thousand cyclone bolt screws and it’s going to get noisy, when we had the phone call I asked him how much to screw my roof down he said same as what you paid already, then he when he tried to get in his car after wards I’m running out with a serious amount o flash to pay this angel, he said no bla bla, that he did the job for his self, ……. I met an angle thus week, but I’m still scared of what is to come on my castle
