She posted earlier today. Looks like her family will be out of the worst of it but the storm is still coming to parts of Australia.

Poor girl, she's either sleeping, packing up the house or working. None of which sounds like a lot of fun (other than maybe the sleeping part).

Thank you so much, I missed that and was getting progressively more worried.

Here's her a.m. post, complete with images of the storm: post #16914

I don't like not hearing either, it's easy to worry. We'll just have to keep sending those good wishes her way.

Hey @sunflour on a completely different subject...are you going to do a 2nd entry in the Edible Easter contest?

I'm thinking about it but haven't come up with the right idea yet.

I think so, have an idea but not sure how I want to do it. I think we have until April 12th? So there's loads of time left.

I'm trying to think up something that's easy, cheap, quick to do and oh yeah, amazing, lol.

For some reason, nothing's coming to mind that fits my criteria.

Telia is most likely still sleeping. She is a couple of hours behind me and it's 7.40am where I am. I had a giggle when you called it her 'morning post' as it would've been her evening. Time zones - I try not to think too hard about them!

Good luck coming up with another edible idea. Just don't leave it where naughty kitties can taste test! Our two Ragdoll cats wouldn't touch human food with a barge poll. Our white, deaf, half blind moggie though - she'd try anything, if she could remember where the bench was!

Good morning folks

Thank you so very much for all your support!

Super sized hugs!

It is early morning here and I am watching the coverage of TC Debbie. I understand that my cousin who lives in the path of the centre has been compulsorily evacuated, so hopefully that is the case and she is safe.

I have just heard from Hubby and FIL and they are doing fine and being north of the system, not feeling the effects but still in the warning zone and likely to be affected later this afternoon.

The towns in the direct path are copping a battering and it is probably still 5-6 hours before Debbie crosses the coast. She is still Cat 4 with some predicting Cat 5 when she does cross the coast.

Currently winds are 190 km/h [120 m/h] and near the core 265 km/h [165 m/h].

Storm surge has caused the evacuation of many low lying areas and flooding is going to be an issue over the next few days.

My thoughts are also with everyone in the path and I hope that everyone is OK

Those darned time zones! And don't even get me started with the International Date Line, lol.

Ragdoll cats are adorable, love the look of them. Maybe they could visit and teach my Opie some manners.

@Teila I hope your cousin is ok and safely out of harm's reach. Keeping your family and the folks in the path in my thoughts.
