At least it's a tropical low now and the SES seem to have it all in hand.
Although my other cousin's husband went out during the storm to buy food for the kids (why they failed to stock up before the cyclone is a mystery) and found the main road blocked, as it should be, so drove around the back roads and got caught in a flood. He had to be rescued by the SES and the brand new mercedes they were leasing was lost.
He's not Australian so maybe he didn't really understand how risky his choices were.
This is the same guy who went to the gym during covid lockdown and was brought home by the police.
