Hi Jim, The cyclone (hurricane) luckily didn't hit a major population center although the people of Innisfail and surrounding districts would probably not agree. They're still going to need a lot of help rebuilding their homes and their lives. Considering the severity of the storm there have been very few fatalities reported. Anyone that didn't want to leave their home was forced to evacuate. One thing that is going to help a lot is that the emergency services (army included) were ready to move in to the coastal areas as soon as the storm had passed. Help wasn't long in coming. However the storm has swept inland over a huge area so there will inevitably be people who will have to tough it out until help can get in. The storm intensity diminished rapidly once it went over land, but getting 10 inches of rain in a few hours isn't something I'd care to experience. Thank you for thinking of us. regards, Rick Ulrich Mack Volante Systems ________________________________ From: thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx on behalf of Jim Kenzig http://ThinHelp.com Sent: Tue 21/03/2006 2:33 To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] Prayers to our australian friends Hope all is well with you and your family down under... http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060320/ap_on_re_au_an/australia_cyclone chime in and let us know you are OK.
